    An estimated 5.8 million Hispanics of Puerto Rican origin lived in the United States in 2021

    337 million in the US.

    I wouldn’t call 1.7% spread across 50 states significant.

      1.7% is more than enough to flip some swing states. Most swing states.

      And two in particular have more than an average number of Puerto Ricans.

      So yeah, it matters.
