Puerto Rico has voted in favor of statehood in several non-binding referendums, including in 2012, 2017, and 2020, with the 2017 and 2020 votes both showing majority support for statehood, though turnout and political support varied.

However, during Trump's presidency, neither his administration nor Congress held or passed any binding votes or legislation to make Puerto Rico a state, and Trump himself openly opposed statehood while in office.
