Martin Luther King Jr. as frustrations mounted over civil rights protests in what was becoming a tumultuous, dangerous year.

Some Democrats downplay the influence, arguing South Carolina's robust Black electorate was already inclined to vote for Biden.

Or Congress can live up to this nation’s promise and ideals, end taxation without representation and pass” the statehood bill. In a Senate speech, he dismissed Washington, D.C., as a city with little more to offer than lobbyists and federal workers. “In other words, Wyoming is a well-rounded working-class state.”Cotton also criticized Democrats for prioritizing the D.C. statehood vote while there is “mob violence” in the streets. “There shouldn’t be troops from other states in Washington, D.C.,” said Bowser.
