"The House of Representatives voted on Thursday to pass a bill that would grant statehood to Washington, DC, a Democratic priority that faces obstacles to final passage even with the party now in control of both chambers of Congress and the White House. The party line vote was 216-208."

""Let's be very clear what HR 51 is all about: It's all about creating two new Democrat US Senate seats," GOP Rep. James Comer of Kentucky said during a committee markup of the bill last week."
