DC is not meant to be a state , just merge the residential parts of it with Maryland . If you really wanna make that part a state get rid of the 23rd amendment

I’d be fine with that.

Also can we make PR a state as well? I don't like how the focus has been on admitting DC yet PR is larger and encountered far more hardships in recent decades and also have voted for statehood on 3 separate occasions in the last decade.

Didn’t the GOP fire/overrule the parliamentarian during the Bush years?

Hey Democrats!

If you're so angry about DC not getting representation, why don't just let them merge to Maryland? Instead of giving 2 senators and a rep to a single city?

...Maybe because you deep down know it's a blatant powergrab?

Maryland doesn’t want that. Not sure why I’m responding to you but this is a fantasy strawman for that reason.

I’ve been more optimistic on Manchin than most but this is too far for me to believe this is 4D chess I’m sorry.
