Mayor Muriel Boswer of Washington, D.C. recently said that the Democrat-controlled Senate and House will soon vote to make the nation's capital a state and send the bill to the desk of Joe Biden, who has voiced support of D.C. statehood, the New American website reports today (January 25, 2021).
"The nation's capital, the federal enclave, will continue to exist as the nation's capital and everything outside of those new boundaries will become the 51st state," said Boswer.
Boswer added, "It is going to be introduced in Congress in a couple of weeks, where we expect to have a favorite vote, and then it goes to the president of the United States. We have made a big focus to President Biden to support D.C. statehood and make it part of his 100-day agenda."
