Sadly, no. It benefits them to keep it the way it is.
DC democrats do not represent Democrats nationally, but if you find that compelling, far more local Democratic groups support it:
Compare which cities and states have implemented RCV in the US, (mostly blue,) and which states have outright banned its use (mostly red.)
Democrats did a big push for RCV in 2019, and while the Biden administration hasn't weighed in yet, the Obama administration he served in supported it.
Not to say that a grassroots movement can’t enact RCV. But as we saw with Bernie, the establishment will not give up power easily.
Thanks!
