House Approves Washington, D.C., Statehood Bill

The House of Representatives approved a bill to make Washington DC the 51st state, granting it voting representation in Congress. The bill, supported by most Democrats, aims to provide DC with two senators and a voting House member. Despite strong support from DC residents, who have long fought for voting rights, the bill faces significant challenges in the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell opposes it. The White House has also indicated that President Trump would veto the bill if it reached his desk.
