House Passes D.C. Statehood Bill; Outlook Is Dim In GOP-Controlled Senate - MSNBC



Lawmakers approved the bill, 232-180, largely along party lines, marking the first time a chamber of Congress has passed a D.C. statehood bill. The legislation now goes to the Republican-controlled Senate, where it faces insurmountable opposition from GOP leaders. Aired on 6/26/2020.

What do we have them for?? How can they continually get away with not doing the jobs that they were put in office to do?? And what invariably happens to anyone who refuses to do their job??
