[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Probably Lean D, with Republicans having chances.

[Tokugawa Sexgod Ieyasu]

I agree with the received wisdom that it would be solidly Democratic on the national level, at least under the pro-Trump/anti-Trump alignment. It'd be much more competitive in statewide races, as so many states are.

[7,052,770]

Probably Lean D, with Republicans having chances.

This, although if they vote for statehood in November and Republicans fight really hard to keep them from becoming a state, it could end up being Safe D in response.

If it votes for statehood, Biden wins, and Democrats take the Senate, PR will be a state in 2021. It will be up to Republicans to determine how resentful Puerto Ricans are of their party.

[Wakie77]

I suspect they would start as Blue and lean Purple.  Had it not been for Trump's blatant neglect and racist attitude towards them they actually would have leaned Red with a strong Catholic contingent being anti-abortion.

Buuuuuuuut Donny fixed that.

Aren't the ones in America super leftist, generally?

[Wakie77]

Aren't the ones in America super leftist, generally?

The ones?  Which "ones"?

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

Aren't the ones in America super leftist, generally?

Puerto Ricans that have been living in the mainland for generations and Puerto Ricans directly from the island of Puerto Rico are different (at least politically).

Also, "leftist" is not really the right term. Stateside Puerto Ricans vote overwhelmingly for the Democrats. However, voting for Democrats doesn't necessarily make a person "leftist".

[ProudModerate2]

Here in Atlas, your poll results are going to be skewed.
You should have used words other than "blue" and "red" in your options.

[brucejoel99]

I think PR would basically be another (modern-day) NM: generally Likely D, but certain circumstances could definitely lead it to vote for a Republican here & there.

[Dereich]

I'd assume that the PNP and the PDP would stay as the primary political parties in Puerto Rico and that they'll stay at the competitive parity they're at now. No real reason for the existing political structure, with its own issues and personalities that don't align with the GOP or Democrats, to subsume itself into the mainland one.

[Mr.Bakari-Sellers]

Blue

[Ferguson97]

Presidential: Lean/Likely D

Senate: 1 R/1 D

House: 3 D/2 R/2 Tossup

[BigSerg]

2024: Safe D
2028: Tossup
2032 : Lean R

[Trends Are Fake]

Presidential: Lean/Likely D

Senate: 1 R/1 D

House: 3 D/2 R/2 Tossup

PR will probably have only 4 house seats, maybe five.

[EastOfEden]

Inverse Montana.

Safe D at the presidential level except for massive landslides, but very competitive at the state level.

Probably very elastic. It's possibly more socially conservative than any current state, so that could create some interesting effects.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

President: Likely D
Senate: Lean D
House: 3D, 1R

[Former President tack50]

I'd assume that the PNP and the PDP would stay as the primary political parties in Puerto Rico and that they'll stay at the competitive parity they're at now. No real reason for the existing political structure, with its own issues and personalities that don't align with the GOP or Democrats, to subsume itself into the mainland one.

PR will still be forced to vote for Dems or Republicans for president (unless they always vote for a home indy with the hope of playing kingmaker)

However for everything downballot yeah this will apply

Common wisdom and current affiliations would suggest the PDP would caucus 100% with Democrats and the PNP mostly with Republicans but with a large Democratic leaning minority

So overall:
President: Safe D
Downballot: de Facto Lean D; in practice more like "Titanium Indy"

[Samof94]

It would likely be D at the Presidential level but swing at the state level. Why would the GOP be popular in a Spanish speaking state?

[CivicParticipant]

Likely Democratic but if the Rs are moderate it could have a chance to vote for the GOP.

[Skill and Chance]

Initially safe Dem, but with serious West Virginia potential in the medium/long term.

[You Don’t Mess With The Zohran]

As a long-term Atlas member, naming the parties by colour is bad and confusing.

[YE]

Blue presidentially and in terms of party registration but it could be idiosyncratic downballot in a way that helps Republicans. Also wouldn't expect socially liberal Democrats to do well there.

[dotard]

D leaning on the pres level but more competitive in other offices.

[Kyle Rittenhouse is a Political Prisoner]

Puerto Rico is way more socially conservative than the country as Spanish speakers who are distant from hegemonic American culture .
