The House of Representatives passed a bill last week that includes support for D.C. statehood.
H.R. 1, or the For the People Act, was passed along party lines on Friday by a vote of 234-193.
It’s a wide-ranging bill aimed at expanding voting access, revamping ethics investigations and would require presidential candidates to release tax documents. It also includes “extensive findings supporting statehood for D.C.” according to a statement from D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton.

That whole bill will die in the Senate....won’t see the time of day and the Dumbocrats knew it when they passed it!
D.C. should NEVER be a state! It is the seat of government as it was originally designed!
Just a ploy to add two more Dem senators to the mix.
And here it is, the Grand Scheme of DEM Party. Washington, D.C. Swamp where Hildabeast got 91% last time. Be aware of false prophets and Crooked Democ-Rats.
More wasted time and taxpayers dollars to justify their phoney bulls**t jobs while neglecting the matters that desperately need to be resolved. Sickening.
DC 'statehood' is a crock. It was designed as a Federal District specifically to be apolitical and without a vote.
