LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: Republicans know D.C. deserves to be a state, but their own power takes precedence By Editor On Nov 15, 2020 Last updated Nov 15, 2020 64 Share THE EFFORT by Senate Republicans to hold onto majority control of the chamber — now accelerating into high gear with Georgia’s upcoming runoff elections for two Senate seats — has been larded with ominous warnings about the dangers of Democrats controlling both the White House and Congress and implementing a radical agenda. They have trotted out what Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) called a “parade of horribles.” Front and center is D.C. statehood. Republicans characterize the idea as nothing more than a power grab to get Democrats two more senators. That won’t cut it. 64 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
