Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser told “Just the News” on Friday that the Democratic-led Senate and House will vote in favor of statehood for the District of Columbia and send the bill to President Joe Biden’s desk, who has expressed support for D.C. statehood in the past.
Bowser said, “The nation’s capital, the federal enclave, continues to exist as the nation’s capital and everything outside of those new boundaries becomes the 51st state. Our congresswoman – we had our first successful vote on statehood in the House of Representatives last year. She reintroduced the bill. She has a record number of sponsors.”

Umm... don’t the states get a say in this process? Is statehood literally just a bill passed through both houses and signed by the president?
Biden will sign anything.
He signed my Irish Setter’s birth certificate
constitution? what dat?
REALLY? Check the Constitution for the rules. Ha ha ha you must have cut class the day the statehood process for DC was taught. Go away.
It will end up in the Supreme Court where pedo John will the opponents of statehood they have no standing.
Will tell
IMHO Maryland should reclaim the land .... It’s already heavy blue so that won’t change anything.
LOL! Boy aint that the truth.
That used to be the case.
But, the constitution is no longer a compact. Its been nullified.
Do they have the numbers to do it.
Article 4, Section 3 says nothing about needing one.
Article 4, Section 3
New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.
D.C. doesn't have a legislature so I don't know how they can approve such a measure. Unless DC is considered a Territory.
And to think of the grief Trump took for the three stiffs he appointed.
Muriel Bowser and Donna Brazille are Married
and HELPED murder SETH RICH in the hospital the
night he died. (why does no one care?)
where is the justice for any child (or adult) raped by them,
eaten by them, or murdered by them in their private
country known as DC (with its red and white flag).
NOT THERE. they instead attack GEOTUS and are joined
by RINOs, Republicans, Dems, China, Vatican,
Estonia, Spain, Germany, Malta, Switzerland and MI-6.
ENOUGH.
Worrying about the Constitution now, is sorta like asking a Bank Robber to close the door on his way out.
ML/NJ
Thats the correct answer and the GOP should have done that ASAP when they controlled all three branches.
Give all the inhabited parts of DC back to Maryland where it belongs, and just keep the Federal area On the mall and surrounding areas.
But they were ball less.
Good thing we boycotted the GA Senate runoffs. We sure taught ‘em a lesson!
