Democrats have been pushing for years to have the District of Columbia officially recognized as the 51st state in America.

And on Thursday, they made that happen in a highly partisan vote.

The Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives voted 216-208 on Thursday to pass a bill that would grant statehood to Washington, D.C.

H.R. 51, otherwise known as the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, would give the district two senators and a voting representative in the House.

The new state would be called “Washington, Douglas Commonwealth” in honor of abolitionist Frederick Douglass.
It would exclude federal buildings and monuments, and federal territory would be known as the Capital.

Under the plan, the 51st state would be called “Washington, Douglass Commonwealth,” named for Frederick Douglass.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
