    China News Service Washington, April 22 (Reporter Sha Hanting) The House of Representatives of the United States Congress voted to pass a bill on the 22nd local time, making Washington, D.C., the capital of United States, the 51st state in United States. Next, the Senate will vote on the bill.

In the day's voting, 216 votes were in favor and 208 votes were against, and the voting results were basically delineated according to party distribution. The bill proposes to make Washington, D.C., the 51st state, and would have two Senate seats and one House seat, while the White House, Congress, and National Mall would remain federal districts.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, said on the 21st that the establishment of Washington, D.C., as a state, will allow Washington residents to "participate in democracy in its entirety." She expressed hope the Senate would pass the bill so that President Joe Biden could sign it into law.

For the statehood of Washington, D.C., United States President Joe Biden expressed support. The White House recently issued a statement saying that Washington, D.C., "has a developed economy, a rich culture, and a diverse group of people who deserve the right to complete and equal participation in democracy."

According to the United States Census Bureau, Washington, D.C. has a population of more than 700,000, more than Vermont and Wyoming. But Washington, D.C., has no seats in either the Senate or the House of Representatives.

Democrats believe that the statehood of Washington, D.C. is about the rights and interests of the people in the region; Republicans, on the other hand, believe that the Democrats are purely "politically motivated" to increase the number of seats in Congress.

Washington, D.C. has long been in the Democratic camp. In the 2020 election, 92% of the people in Washington, D.C., voted for Biden and 5% voted for former President Trump.

Next, the bill will be voted on in the Senate. In the current Senate, where Democrats and Republicans each hold 50 seats, the bill needs 60 votes to pass. (ENDS)
