The visit to an iconic location in the Puerto Rican community of Philadelphia highlights the importance of the nearly half a million Boricuas living in Pennsylvania, which is crucial for the upcoming presidential elections.
Finally, Danilo Burgos emphasized that in the current race for the White House, it can be said that all roads lead to Pennsylvania. “Harris’s path to victory is much easier with Pennsylvania than without it, although her campaign has more routes to victory than our opponent if we consider the swing states of this cycle.”
