LinkLinks Washingtonian: Here Are The Democrats Who Haven’t Co-Sponsored the DC Statehood Bill By Editor On Feb 2, 2021 Last updated Feb 2, 2021 33 Share Last week, Delaware Senator Tom Carper re-introduced a DC statehood bill to the Senate. The bill is highly unlikely to go anywhere without filibuster reform, as it would need 60 votes to pass and there’s currently no public Senate GOP support. However, it’s another big step towards potential representation for the District. Should the filibuster be eliminated, the measure would only need a simple majority (which the Democrats currently have) to pass. 33 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
