Democrats have been pushing for years to have the District of Columbia officially recognized as the 51st state in America.
And on Thursday, they made that happen in a highly partisan vote.
The Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives voted 216-208 on Thursday to pass a bill that would grant statehood to Washington, D.C.
H.R. 51, otherwise known as the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, would give the district two senators and a voting representative in the House.

May not happen now, but it’s only a matter of time.
And when it happens, say goodbye to the Stars and Stripes.
Only in the fevered mind of a rabid Democrat would a middling sized city be considered a state.
Mine is still flying upside down in distress
Ping.
And forever shall she wave.
Our borrowed time is over.
Why does nobody talk about giving the residential areas of DC back to Maryland, and then they would have congressional representation as part of Maryland?
That was easy , who did they pick for Governor ? LOL
What are the negatives of making DC a state?
Whether Puerto Rico or DC, they want to force us to change the flag.

See #10
The Democrats really don’t need DC. Red states are turning blue. But blue states are not turning red. So we will eventually become a one-party country with or without DC as a state.
A flag like Zimbabwe’s
Hopefully, the US Senate will kill it, again.
They should name if Barryton, after Marion Barry.
The republic died this past Election Day.
It was buried January 6.
DC statehood is just to help ensure this isn’t an interregnum.
Pretty much.
They want the 2 extra demonKKKrat senators.
Marxists on the march!!!!
