Puerto Rico Shadow Senator: A Head Scratcher for Donald Trump’s Support of Pennsylvania Rally
The high-profile endorsement was issued even as debate over his political future raged on. Yes, should Puerto Rico demand more representation? The national spotlight has been burning on the shadow senator, a polarizing figure.
The emotions were both anger and support among his Trump comments. Are more Puerto Rican mainlanders converting politically? Puerto Rico Equality opponents dismiss prominent U.S. backing.
The protesters fear it would only complicate the island’s relationship with the U.S. Is this switch ever in favor of Puerto Rico over the long haul? But defenders of the decision consider it pragmatic.
They contended his alignment with Trump could draw further focus to Puerto Rican priorities. So, what do Puerto Ricans require from their leaders? Indeed, this unfolding story will have implications for just what all of these endorsements mean.
It is a time for Puerto Ricans in the diaspora to take stock. It may well be an empty political rallying cry.
