Anyone who says granting statehood for DC and Puerto Rico is ‘purely a power grab’ for Dems are totally off base.

Here’s how Senate control would have changed over the last decade if DC and Puerto Rico had been states:
2010: D (IRL) —> D (with DC+PR)
2012: D —> D
2014: R —> R
2016: R —> R
2018: R —> R
2020: D —> D
*ALSEN in 2017 is an interesting side-story
