  • GOP triple threat to DC Washington, D.C., has always had a strained relationship with the rest of the country and the federal government most of all. It sits as a quasi-state, with some representation in the House and in the Electoral College but without a say in bedrock values such as the ability to vote

The article from the Washington Examiner discusses several key political issues. Firstly, it highlights the unified stance of House Republicans in their efforts to exert financial pressure on Washington, D.C., particularly through measures like blocking a bill that would have allowed non-citizens to vote in local elections. This reflects a broader Republican strategy to limit the autonomy of D.C. governance. Additionally, the piece touches on former President Donald Trump's potential policy to challenge birthright citizenship, a constitutional right that grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Trump's interest in this issue could be part of his campaign strategy to appeal to his voter base by addressing immigration concerns. The article also briefly mentions other political maneuvers, including the GOP's approach to the debt ceiling and their opposition to certain D.C. laws, indicating a pattern of using legislative power to influence local policies in the nation's capital.
