Puerto Ricans on the U.S. territory voted 57 percent in favor of becoming a state last week .

Any change to Puerto Rico’s status needs Congress ’ approval, but it would first need to be a priority for congressional leaders.

The last time the United States added a state was Hawaii in 1959 , after a referendum vote similar to the vote that took place in Puerto Rico .
