House To Vote On D.C. Statehood In April

The transcript discusses the proposal for Washington DC to become the 51st state. The House Majority Leader anticipates a vote later this month, with the proposal likely to pass the House but facing challenges in the Senate due to insufficient Republican support. If passed, DC would gain two US senators and a voting representative in the House, while the White House, Capitol, and National Mall would remain under federal control.
