Sen. Tom Carper recently introduced a bill aimed at making Washington, D.C. a state.
He took to Twitter Wednesday to discuss his efforts to "Give the over 700,000 D.C. residents a voice, vote and full representation in Congress."
Today, I'm proud to introduce #S51 to make D.C. the 51st state in our Union.
The so-called 'Washington D.C. Admissions Act' has received support from several members of the Democrat Party.
Republicans are concerned making D.C. a state might place two more Democrats in the Senate.
Today, we're introducing #S51 in the United States Senate because it is past time to make #DCStatehood a reality.
Democrats would need at least 60 votes in the upper chamber to pass the proposal, but they may only need a simple majority if the filibuster is abolished.
