TheStatGuy Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 The U.S. House is set to vote on D.C. statehood June 26, with a chamber of Congress is set to endorse the 51st state for the first time https://t.co/S8uxy2uiqq The Senate won't pick up the bill but once Dems pick up house and Senate and have a dem president. I could see this being pushed for. Republicans don't want an extra dem in house nor 2 in Senate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
