The House has rejected a proposal for a new Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum on the National Mall. The widely backed proposal had devolved into a partisan fight after Republicans changed the legislation to ensure no transgender people are included in the exhibits. The House rejected the bill Thursday, 204-216, with Democrats leading the opposition. The revised bill bans a “diversity” of views and gives President Donald Trump the final say on where the museum would be located. The Democratic Women’s Caucus rejected the changes. The outcome leaves the next steps uncertain.
