Puerto Rico Governor Says Statehood Is the Issue

Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló (D) said that “as Democratic candidates begin visiting the island ahead of the 2020 presidential nominating contests there is one question they must answer: whether the U.S. territory should become a state,” Reuters reports.

Said Rosselló: “What I want to hear everybody talk about is their stance on the equality of U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico? It should be a yes or no answer. There should be no room for wiggle.”
