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 orgininal posts said voting rights in general, not HR1. This would in all likelyhood be Manchin's proposal that even Stacey Abrams is supporting.
If not granting DC residents full representation in congress isn't common sense, I dunno what is.
