Democrat senators. Stupid Android.
Yes I can see Democrats wanting this to add Democrat senators.
Currently, California has 2 Democrat senators.
If this were enacted, there would be a total of 12 senators from these states. It is quite likely that a few GOP could get elected in some of the states, but overall, it would probably be a 9-3 or 10-2 split of Democrat senators from the former California states, in the US Senate, if this ever happens.
Many other states have distinct regions of states, just as California does.
Suppose this idea catches on with liberals.
They might say that Chicago should secede from Illinois and be its own state. Automatic 2 Democrat senators if that happens.
Ditto, with New York, if New York City and environs became its own state, separate from upstate. Another 2 automatic Democrat senators always in the Senate.
Then there is the ongoing threat that the District of Columbia could be granted statehood. If that ever happens, another automatic 2 Democrat senators.
