No, the plan is to shrink DC to the mall and surrounding government buildings and then make the remaining area a new state. I dont see how anyone would think it fair to give a city 2 senators.

The Founders had very good reasons for not allowing the Federal District to become a state.

They tried that once before and it failed the smell test. There are legal issues with shrinking DC and not returning the surrounding areas to their respective States. I am no a lawyer so I did not understand exactly why that was not legal. But there are issues with that.
