Summary
The GOP-led House approved its rules package but excluded Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-S.C.) proposed trans bathroom ban targeting Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first transgender congresswoman.
While the ban was omitted, the package includes provisions restricting transgender and immigrant rights and fast-tracks bills limiting trans participation in sports, abortion access, and benefits for undocumented immigrants.
Mace, who previously used anti-trans rhetoric to promote the ban, also cosponsored efforts to amend Title IX, a federal law that bars sex discrimination in education programs that receive federal funding.
Democrats criticized the package for scapegoating vulnerable communities while ignoring policies to improve Americans’ lives.
