    How much votes does this need for it to be passed in the Senate?

    60 i believe, someone can correct me if i’m wrong

    edit: just double checked yeah it’s 60. and democrats aren’t even united on this so it’s near impossible

    Decent article summing up what's going on, HR 51 goes to the Senate next where it has a mixed chance

    its unknown if its 50 or 60 as it is unclear whether statehood bills fit the definition of legislation and can therefore be filibustered

    I just thought this, if DC was conservative everyone would be making massive Twitter threads about how awful the idea of them becoming a state is
