51st American state.

It was done in a plebiscite to attach the port rich country that has lived as a territory free American official to become a state. Now is fitting to Congress for approval, I do not know what impact cultural, political and financial now.

It will be the first state in the united states hispanic (I think).

"
On Tuesday, Puerto Ricans voted on their preferred relationship with the United States. The largest share of voters elected to become a U.S. state.
In a two-part referendum that caused some confusion, some 54 percent of voters said they were dissatisfied with the relationship. The second question asked whether voters preferred becoming a U.S. state, an independent country, or a freely associated state (a type of independence in close alliance with the United States). Some 61 percent of those who answered voted for statehood on the second question, though more than 460,000 people intentionally voted blank.
Nevertheless, the recent ballot results have sparked real excitement in the community and it's been reflected best in the 51-state American flags we've been seeing floating around on social media."

I'm still not sure Hawaii should be a state.
