They can’t get new states set up and admitted to the union that fast. But sure, this has been a D machine goal for many years

Texas can become 5 states with 10 senators.

People dont understand that the creation of states, outside of 1865-1912, was always a highly political game of regional and/or party balance.

Even Alaska and Hawaii were admitted in-part because it was assumed Hawaii would be GOP to offset Alaska being Democrat.

If any states are added, it may be a number up to 10.
