No, because it goes against the idea of a separate national capital. If DC residents want Congressional representation they can already get it - move to any of the 50 states.
The idea would be there would still be a small District of Columbia that includes the Capitol, White House, Mall, Monuments, some federal buildings, etc, while the rest of the city would become a new state. Also all lot of people just can't afford to leave. I don't see why living in the Nation's Capital should exclude them the rights of every other America.
If Trump results in a Democratic wave that results in total control, second thing they should do, after national redistricting reform, is DC Statehood.
