Governor: 'I see Puerto Rico as a battleground state'

SAN JUAN — Puerto Rican Gov. Ricardo Rossello, a Democrat, insisted the island territory may be more likely to become a stronghold for congressional Republicans than a blue state.

“There is this narrative, and this coming from a Democrat, that Puerto Rico would be a Democratic state,” Rosello told the Washington Examiner during an interview at the governor’s mansion over the weekend. “I would caution against that narrative.”
