How Maryland Can Protect DC From Trump

from City Cast DC · host City Cast

Everyone knows about DC’s push for statehood, but the current crisis got us thinking about a question we asked a few months ago: Should DC rejoin Maryland? It’s called Retrocession, the once-taboo idea that instead of becoming the 51st state, Washington should simply join Maryland. For years, David Krucoff has been the lonely champion of this cause. He joined City Cast earlier this year to explain why he thinks it’s the best way forward. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.
