DC and Puerto Rico aren't being admitted as states, so it's a moot discussion
Combine up to a dozen of the smallest states land wise into one state. Two Senators with multiple congressman. That would be more reality. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware as examples.
He's had 47 years of practice.Why would Joe lie to his constituents and break a campaign promise so early in his administration?
Warshington( i know it is Washington, just the locals call it that) DC is a city, and was never supposed to be more than that, now if the prog slaves in the city want to have Senators, they can move to Maryland or Virginia.Back in the 1800s, we had the Missouri Compromise on the issue of free and slave states by keeping the balance of admitting one free state for every slave state. What if we admitted Puerto Rico and DC as liberal states and then add East California and South Virginia to keep the balance?
What balance are you referring to? The balance that has a Republican "majority" in the Senate that represents 20 million fewer people than the Democratic "minority" if the GOP wins both races in Georgia? Or is it the balance that allows the Republicans to win the presidential election 3 times since the early 90's while winning the popular vote only once? Or is it the balance that makes thanks to Gerrymandering that winning the house means the Democrats have to run about 4 percent ahead on average? Is that the balance you are referring to?Back in the 1800s, we had the Missouri Compromise on the issue of free and slave states by keeping the balance of admitting one free state for every slave state.

I did. Its just that we think of states in large land masses and smaller populations also. With the Electoral College.Combine up to a dozen of the smallest states land wise into one state. Two Senators with multiple congressman. That would be more reality. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware as examples.
Some of those small states have HUGE populations. Why would they kill off their own power in the Electoral Collège by surrendering Senate seats? You really did not think that through, did you?
The issue with D.C. is not statehood but the land retrocession at the time of the civil war. The portions of D.C. that lie within the original Commonwealth of Virginia have still not been reconquered from it. Puerto Rico is not that liberal. Spanish speaking, hard core Catholics, mostly. Probably not all that interested in building up more government toward statehood for the sake of statehood.What if we admitted Puerto Rico and DC as liberal states
Because the democrats lie, cheat, and steal with impunity and know they will get elected anyway.DC and Puerto Rico aren't being admitted as states, so it's a moot discussion
Even if the Senate is 50/50 and Harris owns the tiebreaking vote? Why would Joe lie to his constituents and break a campaign promise so early in his administration?
Divide California into like 4 different states.Jefferson is available ... the largely conservative area north of Sacramento and south of Eugene ... it would cost California three House seats is all ...
