Senate Statehood Fight Centers on Foraker Arizona Vote
Washington February 5. The week ahead in Congress focuses on the statehood bill and the Foraker amendment letting Arizona voters decide admission. Democratic senators largely back the amendment, likely drawing Republican support. If favorable to the amendment the bill’s supporters may ease on a vote, while opposing side favors postponement. A vote may tie to Oklahoma’s admission regardless. Foraker may press a separate vote on Arizona and New Mexico as a combined submission.
