House Democrats hoped that they could still secure a museum including transgender figures once they retake power after the midterm elections...

Republicans amended the bill to say President Donald Trump may pick an alternative site for the museum and specified the museum could include only “biological women.”

The House has rejected a proposal for a new Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum on the National Mall.

The bill, led by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), failed 204-216, with no Democratic support and six Republican defections.
