House Approves Democrats D.C. Statehood Plan

The House on Thursday voted to approve what has been described as a Democrat “power grab” – a plan to make the District of Columbia the 51st state and line up two more party members in the Senate. . .

It’s because, the report said, “The district’s population of more than 700,000 residents reliably votes for Democrats and would, without question, send two additional Democratic senators to Congress.”

The vote was 216-208 along party lines but has a low likelihood of survival in the Senate, where Democrats would need at least 10 Republican senators to support their political maneuver.

Democrats have lobbied for the plan, saying taxpaying District residents are denied representation in Congress.

“Congress has the moral obligation and the constitutional authority to pass H.R. 51,” claimed Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat who now is Washington’s nonvoting member of the House. (Read more from “House Approves Democrats D.C. Statehood Plan” HERE)
