Statehood supporters said momentum is building for a House floor vote

By Jenna Portnoy and Fenit Nirappil February 28 at 1:40 PM Sen. Mark Warner has agreed to support D.C. statehood, leaving House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer as the only Democratic federal lawmaker in the region who does not want to see the District become the 51st state.

D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser, who met with Warner on Capitol Hill as part of a lobby day for statehood, said she’d been courting him for a long time and that his reversal “completes the Democratic Virginians that are supporting D.C. statehood.” In coordination with Speaker Nancy Pelosi , Hoyer decides which bills go to the floor. He previously said he would not stop lawmakers from voting on statehood, but declined to say if he would be one of them.

Warner, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, signed on to the bill at a time when it is gaining support from Democrats with national ambitions and progressives who have framed statehood as a civil rights issue.
