Republicans Propose Bathroom Ban for McBride

House Republicans, led by Rep. Nancy Mace, proposed a resolution to restrict bathroom access for House members based on biological sex, specifically targeting Democrat Sarah McBride, the first transgender person elected to Congress. Mace's resolution has faced strong backlash from House Democrats, who accused her of bullying and diverting focus from pressing issues. House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed support for the resolution, declaring that the matter would be addressed with 'dignity and respect' as Congress navigates this unprecedented issue. The resolution aims to enforce bathroom policies within the Capitol, and Mace affirmed her commitment to protecting women's spaces. The debate reflects broader national discussions surrounding transgender rights and bathroom access, with conservative groups backing Mace's initiative. As the situation develops, it remains unclear how Congress will ultimately vote on the proposed measure.
