In this debate, you will hear many appeals to racism, a tactic that outweighs all other arguments and intimidates voters, especially in this political climate. Maxine Waters has declared it so, If you oppose statehood you will be branded a racist and could even lose your livelihood. TD
House moves to approve D.C. statehood; Senate GOP opposes
"Republicans aren’t “stupid” enough to add guaranteed Democratic seats."
. . . Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.), however, likened making DC a state to giving Milwaukee two senators.
“ 'I will never vote to give a single middling-size city the same political power as one of America’s great 50 states,” added Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.). “Their goal is two more guaranteed left-wing senators.”
"Hice gave a brush-off common among conservatives, pointing to local financial woes and corruption in recent decades.
“ 'DC is simply not equipped to shoulder the burden of statehood,” Hice said." . . .
Not while Republicans hold the senate; elections matter!
This Is Why Washington, D.C. Isn’t a State . . . While drafting the Constitution in 1787, the Founding Fathers decided that the new nation should have a permanent capital. But they were reluctant to give that much power to one single state. So they wrote in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution that “[The Congress shall have Power] To exercise exclusive Legislation…over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may…become the Seat of the Government of the United States.” The article also stated that this 100-mile district would come from land ceded by the states so that the new seat of government would be independent of any state. Check out more facts about U.S. history you didn’t learn in school." . . .
Here's Why Washington D.C. Isn't a State . . . "But the lack of statehood for the capital is enshrined in the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the document reads, “The Congress shall have Power To …exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States.”

"James Madison outlined the reasoning behind this provision in Federalist 43, calling the arrangement an “indispensable necessity.” He wrote, “The indispensable necessity of complete authority at the seat of government, carries its own evidence with it… Without it, not only the public authority might be insulted and its proceedings interrupted with impunity; but a dependence of the members of the general government on the State comprehending the seat of the government, for protection in the exercise of their duty, might bring on the national councils an imputation of awe or influence, equally dishonorable to the government and dissatisfactory to the other members of the Confederacy.”"In other words, the founders worried that if the capital were to be a state, the members of the government would be unduly beholden to it. Madison envisioned that voting members of a D.C. state would be able to ‘insult’ or ‘interrupt’ the proceedings of government to get their way, simply by virtue of physical proximity to the halls of power." . . .
