Democrats renew DC statehood push that would remake national politics
Fox News
House Democrats are moving forward with their plan to add the District of Columbia as the 51st state of the union and this time they have supportive leaders in the Senate and the White House on their side.
The first step will take place Monday, when the House Committee on Oversight and Reform will hold a hearing on Norton's 51st state legislation, aptly titled H.R. 51, the Washington, D.C. Admission Act. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has pushed to have a statehood bill on President Biden's desk within his first 100 days in office, will be among the witnesses testifying. Biden is supportive of D.C. becoming the 51st state.More Related News
