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 think I like 50 states better than 51 states

    I like having 50 states. 51 seems odd, and weird.

        I don’t think that would work. What about financial services? More money! That could be bad

          this would be cool but .....Why do they want a new state!? 50 is a even number too...... I do not want a new state that much but if it passes I will be happy!
