And if any other states leave with Texas - Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands and DC will immediately be expedited in their statehood confirmations. It’s a win win all round.
Guam pretty specifically will not, since they have laws saying that only people who are 50% Guam-native or more are allowed to buy land there. That’s very much illegal by US law and is a hard blocker to their statehood.
I get why they have that law, but it puts them in a weird position of permanently US-adjacent without ever becoming a full state.
