The bill to make DC a state was approved in the US House of Representatives on April 22, 2021 (Credit: YouTube screen capture)

On April 22, 2021, for the second consecutive year, the US House of Representatives voted 216-208 to make Washington, DC, the nation's 51st state. Though the symbolically titled H.R. 51 bill is identical to the one passed on June 26, 2020, the legislation was never put to the vote in the then Republican-controlled Senate. However, this time around, the bill — which has the support of both President Joe Biden and Democratic Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer — will get a hearing in the upper house of Congress.

            I love the mixed comments XD I think 51 states would take some getting used to; and more history to learn ;-; and we wouldn't have an actual capital of the USA to replace it with either.. HmMmM
