D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said at a press conference on Thursday that Democrat majority in the House and Senate and Joe Biden in the White House means the stars are aligned to make the District of Columbia the 51st state.
“Statehood is really the only way that we can fulfill full American citizenship,” Bowser said. “Having one vote [in the House] out of 435 is certainly better than no votes but having two senators is the only way that we can ensure full representation in the American system.”
Bowser cited a tweet posted by Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
“And he said very straightforwardly — I’m paraphrasing — but the time for D.C. statehood is now,” Bowser said.
“You’ve heard also in the last week that President Biden affirmed his support for D.C. statehood and you know we’ve already had a successful House vote,” Bowser said.

No.
Time to return DC to the Peoples’ Republic of Maryland.
All except for the White Basement Bunker, the SC and the Capitol Keep and surrounding walls.
Yes, by all means, let’s have one representative and two senators represent one dysfunctional city so it has the same upper house representation as each state. If she wants senators, then attach the city to a current contiguous state if it will have it.
Exactly.
Convince either Virginia or Maryland to take your crap-hole city.
Doesnt this require a constitutional amendment?
Actually they need to become a part of a Maryland. The only part of DC that should be considered federal is the portion that contain federal buildings. All the homes, apartments, businesses should fall under Maryland law and taxes.
After absorbing that vision, one can see why DC was never to be a separate State.
This activity just PROVES the regime occupying the WhiteHut KNOWS IT DOES NOT BELONG THERE!
It would require the OK of Maryland, which would love to get DC income tax revenue.
“the Virginia portion was eventually returned in March 1847”

Let DC voters decide if they want to live under Maryland government.
This should not be a surprise. The Democrats had this as part of their platform before the election. Also “adding” members to SCOTUS.
They don’t waste any time, do they, and these things WILL happen now that the Dims have the White House, Senate and House.
She probably thinks she will automatically become governor.
Just mail in their “votes” for them....
