house of representatives, eleanor holmes norton, as well as former senator and former chairman of this committee joe lieberman. eleanor holmes norton, i appreciate your attendance and i want to recognize your incredible leadership on this issue over many years. it is wonderful to have you here before the committee. for decades, you have served in the conversation to give d.c. residents an equal voice. today, for the first time in seven years, this committee will continue that discussion and hear from the mayor, policy, legal and civil rights experts, on how lawmakers can finally give d.c. residents the same representation in congress as their fellow americans. the lack of representation for the residents of this city, which serves as a beacon of freedom and democracy around the world, is a stunning contradiction. 1790, president washington signed into law the permanent seat of government act. d.c. has served as our nation's capital. d.c. has more than 700,000 residents, many of whom have fought in our wars, paid federal taxes, and served the american people in public service been denied an equal voi

today, including elinor holmes norton. in senator joe lieberman, who is back to this committee having served as chair and ranking member, and really was the heart and soul of this committee when he was here. we will also hear from mayor bowser. as you know, mr. chairman, i have practical and constitutional concerns about making washington, d.c. its own state. legally, congress does not have the power to override the constitution. that is the most important issue here. d.c. is the only place specifically traded by the constitution in article one as this seat of government. meaning it has a special constitutional status, completely different from any current or previous u.s. territory that it actually became a state to the article four admissions clause. a limited government on which congress can grant to it. neither the district because of her admission clause provides congress with the power to transform the seat of government into a state. moreover, d.c. has special constitutional status that grants d.c. residents three electoral votes

holmes. appreciate your company. now, the u.s. president joeen rejecting a republican counteroffer on infrastructure spending, saying their proposal doesn't meet his policy goals. that doesn't mean the chance of a bipartisan deal is dead. a group of republicans and democrats are working on a proposal that we could see as soon as next week. phil mattingly with the latest. >> now's the time to build on the foundation we've laid. >> reporter: president biden pressing the path forward to a major infrastructure deal. >> we have a chance to seize on the economic momentum of the first months of my administration. >> reporter: a path that remains in limbo. biden speaking by phone with senator shelley moore capito, the lead gop negotiator in the long-running bipartisan talks. but a new gop offer to increase their proposed spending by $50 billion fell far short of biden's expectations. white house press secretary jen psaki in a statement saying biden, quote, expressed his gratitude for capito's effort and good will but also indicated the current offer di

holmes norton from washington, d.c. congresswoman, mitch mcconnell said very clearly that is week that he is opposed to the bill that passed the house. and opposed to the proposed changes that senator joe> the manchin compromise remains the best path forward. we need ten senators but that has the support of seven company ceos. that should help us get closer to his compromise. now, his compromise, for example, does not allow same-day voting. no excuse voting. but look what his priorities are. and that's where i think we may be in trouble with republicans. he does not want his bill would undo gerrymandering, partisan gerrymandering, and that is very current, because we're at a time when the states, in fact, decide where they stand, and we know there have been changes in the state that could induce some gerrymandering. his bill allows for an election day holiday. that would mean people could go to the polls on election day. now, he expands early voting, but only for 15 days. again, he's trying to compromise. and he is saying there will be automatic registration at your dmv, but not same-day. so he's against, by the way, no excuse absentee voting which hr-1 proposes, and he is against publ

holmes and it's not just baseball. fans who really celebrating businesses all around the ballpark. well, they are thrilled to see the crowds finally coming back. ktvu joeis still about an hour away, but i'm sure it you can already start to feel the excitement. yeah no question about it. heather and the giants say that they're expecting about 35,000 fans here tonight, son, not capacity, but certainly a lot more than we've seen this entire season and obviously. all of last season. we saw something tonight that we've not seen since 2019. and that is people coming into the stadium without masks, not worrying about how close they are to each other, being able to sit down and seats right next to each other to enjoy a ball game. and you know the one thing about this market. this is the only place other than new york los angeles to chicago, where you see two teams from the same metropolitan area sharing that area and the fans right here seemed to be at least for now peacefully. existing both inside and outside the stadium and all just happy to be back. uh i'm so pumped. i haven't been a game in over two years. it seems like and, uh what better day than giants
