"Race for Puerto Rico's Leadership Intensifies with Gubernatorial Primaries"
The race for governor of Puerto Rico is heating up, with multiple candidates vying for the position. The New Progressive Party (NPP) is facing challenges from the Citizens' Victory Movement (MVC) and the Project Dignity party. Incumbent governor Pedro Pierluisi is being challenged by Jenniffer González-Colón, who is positioning herself as more pro-business. Both candidates are advocating for Puerto Rico to become the 51st state. The governor's race is expected to be heavily influenced by the territory's troubled power system and the oversight board that controls its finances.
