Puerto Ricans mostly live in urban constituencies so their vote was going to the Democrats no matter what

The stateside Puerto Rican community is increasingly suburbanized and also has greatly dispersed. Puerto Ricans are today less numerous in their traditional enclaves in NYC and elsewhere as they have spread to the suburbs. Texas and Ohio have seen huge increases in their Puerto Rican populations in the last decade.

Florida is also notable in that it has had a huge Puerto Rican community for years, centered on central Florida where they buck the stereotypical “urban” trend. This community has always been large and has continued to grow rapidly while other traditional Puerto Rican communities (NYC) have shrunk.

But also this ignores the history of Puerto Rican migration to the mainland. Yes the urban concentrations are probably more well-known, but there’s also a long history of Puerto Ricans migrating to rural communities as farmhands (esp in the 60s and 70s after the Bracero Program ended)

It doesn't really work like that. Electoral college votes are apportioned statewide, so every vote in a swing state counts.

Weirdly racist way to phrase this point but ok

I knew a few Puerto Rican Trumpers. Not sure how well he can rely on those votes now, mind you.
