D.C., a city with 700,000 people, isn’t a state — meaning its residents don’t have many of the rights held by other Americans. But with Republicans controlling the House, Senate and White House, the chances of a D.C. statehood bill passing are slim.

Why isn’t D.C. a state? Trump’s takeover reignites calls for statehood.
Washingtonians pay federal taxes, but they have no votes in Congress and their local government has no control over the D.C. National Guard.
