With the impeachment inquiry vote, the House made history today, but the Washington Nationals made unprecedented history just last night. Our D.C. Nats won the World Series for the very first time in American history. Our Nats were the underdogs throughout the series, just like their hometown, the District of Columbia, has been for 218 years. But hold on, America. We are about to make it a double: Nats' victory last night; House passage of H.R. 51, the D.C. statehood bill, during the 116th Congress. Watch for how I make my friend, Sheila Jackson Lee, pay up on our bet against the Houston Astros. Go Nats! Long live D.C. statehood! ____________________
