Sen. Joe Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, is open to adding two new states — the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
The liberal push to add the District and Puerto Rico comes as Democrats see adding U.S. Senate seats from those jurisdictions as providing them with a firmer grasp on control of Congress.

How ironic that the 1954 Congress Attack was by people who wanted Independence for Puerto Rico.
Pile it on , pile it on
I remember when he was trying to calm everyone by saying he wasn’t going to vote for the far-left agenda even if they took the Senate, but I suppose they got to him too.
Just looked it up. Interesting. For Puerto Rico, I think independence is the best thing for them.
🚽💩
Surprise! Surprise! You also open to hanging with the rest of your party?
Joe is not going to say no to the Left even if he disagrees with their agenda. His alternative would be to join the Republican Party and he’s not going to do that.
He gets his name put on a few more buildings in West Virginia he’d be open to walking into the senate dressed a clown dude is a massive fraud
Washington DC, two square miles and they get two senators?
You forgot roads and bridges.
I have to work with these people in Florida. They are disgustingly arrogant and in your face about everything. Even the Cubans dislike them.
If that happens, that means there will be less of the Federal pie for Joe Manchin’s constituents.
Might want to remind him of that.
Oh, by the way, Jimmy Carter ordered their release and they got a hero’s welcome at the UN, before flying home to Puerto Rico to 5000 adoring fans.
The Left adores Lolita Lebrón she is a hero to the left.
But note how the media isn’t even mentioning this attack.
I don’t care anymore.
I am don’t have nearly enough graft and corruption. It would be good if instead of spending money on space we can feed the coffers on corruptocrats paying cronies to stop the atmosphere from reaching 0.05% co2
If the Constitution still had any meaning they could not make DC a state.
Realistically, what should had been done is to return the district to Maryland. Only the Capitol, the White House and the Supreme Court along with a couple of other federal buildings will remain in federal jurisdiction. The population of the remaining district would be zero. Maryland gets an additional representative due to an increase in the population in their state.
maybe the people of West Virginia should get to him....
How long do you think this a@@hole will last if he returns to WV. They are seriously pissed off at him... and this, whooh boy.
