I see that though Puerto Ricans were not able to vote in the main elections, they had a referendum on seeking statehood, and voted pretty convincingly in favour.

And the way the District of Columbia authorities stepped up in putting down the Trumpist Coup last week surely earned them a debt of gratitude.

Is there any reason not to expect the new Congress to grant the wishes of both of these, and let them become states?

Which would mean quite a significant change in the Senate, and a rather less precarious majority for the Democrats.
