The House of Representatives have passed a bill Thursday that would grant statehood to Washington, D.C. The measure now faces the Senate, where it is unlikely to get the Republican support needed for 60 votes to pass.
The bill, H.R. 51, was introduced by Eleanor Holmes Norton, who is DC’s non-voting House member.
