I personally don’t think that DC should be made a state b/c it needs to represent all 50 states equally. All states are represented equally in the senate, but the world needs to see an entire city where all the states are equal. The world cannot always see the senate. If the government wants to indoctrinate a new state, I think they should consider Puerto Rico, American Samoa, or the Virgin Islands. Additionally (but much harder) there are several small countries that might prefer to be considered for statehood or at least protectorates.
