In a close election, any decent percentage matters and they are not spread out evenly at all. For instance, there are 500,000 in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania was won by only 42k in 2016

Plus a million in Florida - that can make the florida senate race a little more competitive. New York downballot races are a big part of why dems lost the house in 2022, and there's also around a million in New York

They should certainly have representation, yes, but that's not to say the Puerto Ricans in swing states / competitive downballot won't matter either
