The future of Pedro Pierluisi as Puerto Rico’s governor will be up to the U.S. territory’s supreme court, says Reuters. The decision comes after the island’s Senate declined to vote on his confirmation, adding to the political turmoil. Pierluisi said, "I will wait for its decision, trusting that what is best for Puerto Rico will prevail." If Pierluisi isn't confirmed, Justice Secretary Wanda Vazquez would be next in line to become governor. Pierluisi was hand-picked by Ricardo Rossello, who resigned after days of protests demanding he step down.
