I would note that the job of Jennifer Gonzalez is to represent the people of Puerto Rico in Congress even though she doesn't have a vote. I wonder if her increasing support of Trump is because she senses increased support for him from her constituents.

That is part of it.

The US midterm elections taught her, the PR MSM and the local government that they people of PR were not as brainwashed as they though. You see, here the govt officials and the Press only speak negatively about Trump; 24/7.

During the midterm elections about half of the PR people who moved to Florida voted Republican. This little-known fact shocked the press here and the local govt officials. They have tried to portray PR as a solid blue island; that is not the case.

Why do you think that the House's push to make PR the 51st state in 90 days fizzled away and nobody has mentioned it again?

Jennifer Gonzalez is a veteran politician, she knew things were going to get ugly here quickly and needed to near herself to Trump and move away from the PR governor. I think she might also get dragged into the corruption probes, but we'll see.
