Republic Statehood and not the same as ours.

Partido Estadista Republicano

(Republican Statehood Party) [1952 - 1968] was a political party in Puerto Rico that operated from 1956 to 1968.[1][2][3] Its president was Miguel A. García Méndez.[4] The party formed in 1952 after Partido Estadista Puertorriqueño became “Partido Estadista Republicano”.[5] It dissolved in 1968 after a split in the party forced it fold, giving way to Partido Nuevo Progresista.

I think President Trump should appoint AOC as the New Interim Governor and put the Plus 3 Squad in her Cabinet. Then they could show the world how their Green New Deal Socialist Utopia works.
