Geee Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Fox News The Senate is moving forward with an effort to make Washington D.C. the 51st state by scheduling a hearing for June 22. But final passage for statehood is still a longshot prospect in the 50-50 split upper chamber. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will convene a hearing on Tuesday on whether to grant Washington D.C. statehood status which would add one more representative and two senators to Congress. Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, a vocal DC statehood backer, is slated to testify along with Marc Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League, as well as several legal experts.
