I'll Tell You How To Have 60 Democratic Senators
This is very easy.
There are over 550,000 people living in the District of Columbia. There are more residents here than in a state like Wyoming. However, the citizens of DoC do not have the same rights as other citizens. They do not get to elect a Senator.
There is no rational or logical reason to deny suffrage to these citizens. Any opposition would be either racist and/or blatantly political.
The District of Columbia should be the 51st state. I believe a simple act of Congress will do given the language of the Constitution. With Democrats clearly in charge of both houses of Congress, passing such legislation should be a piece of cake. Alternatively, making this the 28th Amendment would work as well.
