Will Washington, DC, Become The 51st US State?

I think this idea of DC a state is a terrible idea, because it gives the democrats +2 votes. Maybe, if we make other territories such as Puerto Rico a state, we can give republicans +2 votes, if Puerto Rico is a republican territory in which case I have NOT fact-checked, but if we make 2 new states with equal votes for both parties, it is a great situation and we have a new flag. Another outcome can be that we split up Texas or Alaska (Maybe Montana or California) or so, and make 4 new states with 2 democratic and 2 republican, to again, balance out our government.
