Yup. I’d say PR statehood _if_ the electorate there wants it — but let’s also add USVI statehood, because the words “Rep. Stacey Plaskett” are music to my ears.
really cannot emphasize enough how plainly all this proves that the first priority of the next Democratic administration needs to be democracy reform --filibuster --electoral college --court reform --dc and pr statehood --new voting rights act --gerrymandering

In more earnest, I’d add: - expanding the House to add ~80-100 seats; - to tick through two items named below at once, amend the VRA to add the “efficiency gap” metric as the trigger for Sec. 5 oversight and preclearance of redistricting; - automatic nationwide voter reg. for federal elections.
