DC Statehood - Is This a Democratic Party Position?

A lot of people that live in DC talk about quality of life problems, crime problems and they really want the city to be more aggressive. The issue right now is that downtown is kind of empty like every downtown because of work from home and after the pandemic. But home rule is a Democratic Party position of longstanding. It is an outrage that the city's citizens of the District of Columbia have no voting representation in Congress. We had a revolution about that in 1776. This is fascinating on so many fronts.
