If Puerto Rico or DC achieve state status then Republicans lose Senate majority forever. If they both do, Republicans are totally fucked. Expect continued discourse of both sides disagree we can’t do this etc.

I wouldn’t be so sure. DC yes absolutely I frankly don’t understand how the folks in that city haven’t mutinied yet with how viciously they hate the Republicans. Puerto Rico on the other hand does not have a clean Dem/Rep split, and it’d take a while for Puerto Rico’s local political parties to meld with the current system, and they could opportunistically choose to align with the Republicans if they thought they could get something out of it.
