I endorse that Texas secedes first (we'll save a bundle on border patrols, etc. and that's just a side bonus), then we let Puerto Rica take their place. Next to go would be Tennessee, Missouri, Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama and West Virginia. It's a start.

As for Puerto Rican statehood, anyone support Puerto Rico joining Florida? The chance anyone's going to give them 2 Senators is slim, but bumping Florida over New York seems doable.

(at the same time could make Washington DC part of Maryland while giving all of Delmarva peninsula to Delaware. Could then add another 15 representatives to Congress, 6 for P.R./Florida, 1 for DC, and the other 8 to bring up total to 450, as 435 is insufficient - 460 might even be a better target. Big issue here is whether to do such an apportionment with a 40-seat advantage Republican House, though not sure what the final tally will be)

Texas is always wanting to go

Suggestion to make Puerto Rico a state but change another state to an unincorporated territory of the US, so we don't have to change the flag and all the other stuff.

Which shall it be? So many choices come to mind.....
