I do not have specific information on President Biden's actions or announcements regarding the naming of technology hubs for 32 states and Puerto Rico.

Why Aren't D.C. and Puerto Rico States? It's Complicated

The status of Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico as non-states within the United States is indeed a complex and politically charged issue. Here are some of the key factors contributing to their non-state status: Washington, D.C. (District of Columbia): Historical Considerations: Washington, D.C., was created as the nation's capital in the late 18th century, as stipulated by the U.S. Constitution. It was meant to be a federal district not belonging to any state to avoid potential state influence over the federal government.

Representation: Residents of D.C. do not have voting representation in Congress. While they have a non-voting delegate in the House of Representatives, they lack full representation in both the House and the Senate. Statehood Advocacy: There have been ongoing efforts to grant D.C. statehood, primarily to provide full representation and autonomy to its residents. However, this is a politically divisive issue, and there has not been a successful push for D.C. statehood to date.

Territorial Status: Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States. Its residents are U.S. citizens but do not have the same political rights and representation as those in the 50 states. Political Status Referendums: Puerto Rico has held several referendums on its political status over the years, including options for statehood, independence, and maintaining the current territorial status. The results have been mixed, with no clear consensus on the preferred status.

In both cases, the status of Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico as non-states involves historical, legal, and political factors. Achieving statehood for either jurisdiction would require significant changes in federal law and potentially the resolution of complex issues. The matter remains a topic of debate and discussion in the United States, with no immediate resolution in sight.
