Pennsylvania’s Puerto Rican American population could potentially pivot America’s most populous swing state.

That’s not only a tongue twister, but, also, an election twister. 

President Joe Biden’s home state of Pennsylvania ultimately voted blue in 2020, but which color will America’s most populous swing state vote this time around? With nearly 500,000 Puerto Rican Americans ready to vote in the Keystone State, the large and growing community could be the margin of difference in the upcoming 2024 elections.

In this episode, co-hosts Sara and Juan Diego discuss Puerto Rican Americans’ voting power in Pennsylvania — their migration history to the state, the issues impacting their communities, and their potential to sway the election.

The episode is co-hosted by political science professor Sara Sadhwani and multimedia journalist J.D. Ramirez.
