E-mailWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday approved a bill that would make Washington, D.C. the 51st state of the United States in a historic vote of 232 to 180.
The Senate is unlikely to take up the bill, as Republicans - including President Donald Trump - are opposed to granting statehood to the federal district, which they predict would elect Democrats to Congress.
