Having 50 states in the United States is not good enough for Democrats anymore. They want to expand their power by giving both Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico statehood. Washington already has three electoral votes in presidential elections but no representation in the Senate or House of Representatives. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico has neither as a U.S. territory.

The reason Democrats push for statehood is clear: If Washington was a state, all of its congressmen would be Democrats, as would its two senators. Meanwhile, Democrats may also win big in Puerto Rico because the national Republican Party tends not to fare well there.
