They usually add states in pairs to balance the parties etc, so will Puerto Rico have to join also? Both of those places will most likely vote liberal.

Puerto Rico leans conservative by a slight margin. Dems don't want them as a result and Republicans don't want them because they're brown.

I think Puerto Rico voted 75% or something for Harris. They don't lean conservative.

They don't lean MAGA, because Trump is specifically racist against them. Their internal political parties tell a much different story.
