If she votes against statehood arguing that it needs the filibuster (it doesnt), she'll be seeing her 39% approval rating plummet even further.

I don't think she'd vote against statehood, just the procedural steps.

How many procedural steps are there in admitting a state anyway?

I don't know but the one I'm worried about is the vote to not have a filibuster. If they can get past/around that, I think it goes through.

Makes sense, that'll be the biggest barrier. I think if the Parliamentarian rules it won't have a filibuster than I think it's anyone's ballgame in terms of statehood actually happening.

When is the House vote scheduled? Tomorrow?

Also when can you expect to hear from the Parliamentarian re: the filibuster?
