More Than 25 Years Ago half of the Democrats Voted Against It, Today none did as every Democrat in the House of Representatives voted to pass a bill that would make Washington, D.C., a state Thursday, while almost half of all House Democrats voted no to a similar bill in 1993.
H.R. 51 passed Thursday along party lines, 216-208. Two Democrats and four Republicans were not present for the vote.
In 1993, however, the Democratic Party split, with 105 Democrats voting against a D.C. statehood bill. Overall, that vote failed 153-277.
