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.

puppyangel5064년 이상If they just attach the part where people actually live and not where the US goverment is and attach it to Maryland, then boom your problem is solved. I think that they just want more democrat senaters because this has an easy solution.- sokeefe_forever4년 이상Yeah, I agree!
basketballchamp4년 이상Plus, Washington DC doesn't need to be a state because that's not what George Washington planned for it so we should respect our historic landmarks- sokeefe_forever4년 이상Exactly!
