Joe is spot on.

"Senator Joe Manchin (D., W. Va.) said that the Constitution would have to be amended to grant Washington, D.C., statehood, in comments to the media on Friday.

Manchin cited findings by the Justice Department under presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, as well as comments by former attorney general Robert F. Kennedy in 1963 following the passage of the 23rd Amendment. That amendment granted the District of Columbia electors in the Electoral College, but stopped short of making the city a state.

“Bobby Kennedy said in 1963 that Congress and the states” chose to give Washington, D.C., electors but not statehood “in the form of a constitutional amendment,” Manchin told WVNews on Friday. “Hence, it is arguable that the choice can now be reconsidered only by means of another constitutional amendment.”

umm do you even Bama bro?
Bama is pretty red but I'm pretty sure WV is many more points red than even Bama.

I'd have to look it up.

Also Bama gave us Jones and he was no Manchin so I feel like that being possible is an indictment of Bama's redness tbh...

That was because of that dip shit Roy Moore ran, he had enough hard right support to earn the pub spot in the race but most middle/middle right voters just didn't vote. Myself included.

Granny Drunkpants should have never appointed Luther Strange he was very unlikable

I still figured Moore would destroy him with how red y'all normally are.

He's just waiting for the proper amount in payoff to change his mind.
They would need Sinema as well as packing the court first to make sure SCOTUS wouldn't stop it.

I'm not sure even fag boy Roberts would let that one skip by if brought before him.

They would need Sinema, Manchin and about 17 RINOs I believe. That aside, this is a non issue as it would literally take a constitutional amendment which would also require 37 (I think) States to vote yes as well.
