President Obama made a brief stop in Puerto Rico on Tuesday, making him the first sitting U.S. president to visit the island in a half century. Obama touted his backing of a process for Puerto Ricans to decide on the island’s political status.

President Obama: “We’ve addressed the question of political status. In March, a report from our Presidential Task Force on Puerto Rican Status provided a meaningful way forward on this question, so that the residents of the island can determine their own future. And when the people of Puerto Rico make a clear decision, my administration will stand by you.”

Obama concluded his visit with a fundraiser where he picked up an estimated $1 million in local donations for his presidential campaign. We’ll have more on Obama’s stop in Puerto Rico after headlines.
