    Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the endorsement of the capital city’s delegates at the DNC roll call Tuesday night, and tacked in a policy suggestion with it.

    “We know Kamala Harris will fight for our freedom and we will work together to make Washington, D.C. the 51st state! The District of Columbia is proud to cast its 51 votes for the next president of the United States, Kamala Harris,” Bowser said Tuesday.

    Both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have voiced support for D.C. Statehood.
