Dems need to make it very clear to Murkowski that if she votes for DC statehood and voting rights, they'll back her reelection, otherwise it's 3rd place for her.

Dems need to make it very clear to Murkowski that if she votes for DC statehood and voting rights, they'll back her reelection, otherwise it's 3rd place for her.

Maybe not all of them since she does need to keep enough appeal to Republicans, but she should have to cast a deciding vote to help Schumer out in a big way to get Dem support.

She can negotiate it down to just DC statehood. That seems fair to both sides. She's already spoken out quasi-in favor of it, relating it to the struggle for statehood Alaskans went through.

Dems need to make it very clear to Murkowski that if she votes for DC statehood and voting rights, they'll back her reelection, otherwise it's 3rd place for her.

In other words, if she becomes a Democrat, the Democrats will back her re-election.

You don't need to become a Dem for supporting a few common sense policies that should be normal in a functioning democracy. That said, it would be a win-win for Dems and Murkowski. As simple as that.

DC statehood is not "common sense", nor is HR1. Both of them are unconstitutional. Their purpose is to lock in Democratic electoral and legislative majorities permanently. If any Republican votes for them, they should just switch parties and stop the charade.

The statehood bill for the Douglass Commonwealth is unquestionably constitutional and it's a lock that the Supreme Court would approve it 9-0 if they have to take the case.
