Residents of Puerto Rico have expressed their outrage following an offensive comment made about the island during former President Donald Trump's campaign rally at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday. However, their ability to respond is limited, as individuals from the territory are not allowed to vote in presidential elections.
Conversely, there are millions of Puerto Ricans residing in one of the 50 states who are eligible to participate in the electoral process. The Pew Research Center indicates that Puerto Ricans constitute the second-largest Hispanic voting demographic, with nearly 6 million voters living on the mainland United States as of 2021. Notably, Pennsylvania has a significant Puerto Rican population, and their votes could be pivotal in this competitive state.
