Puerto Rico statehood is a proposal whereby the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico would become a state, with the rights in the Constitution guarranteed to it. This would give it voting power in the House of Representatives (currently it has none) and the right to elect two Senators. Typically, Democrats have supported statehood, in order to provide two likely liberal voices in the Senate.
