The resolution does not specifically name Sarah McBride, but Mace said Tuesday that “it’s 100 percent because of McBride.”
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., talks to reporters as he leaves Republicans closed-door forum to hear from the candidates for speaker of the House, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023.
“This is about women and our right to privacy, our right to safety,” Mace said of the measure that she introduced Monday. “I’m not going to allow biological men into women’s private spaces. It is the height of hypocrisy.” The newly ignited debate is forcing the House to grapple with an unprecedented issue: how to address transgender individuals in the Capitol complex without infringing on their rights. The Republican Party campaigned on targeting transgender individuals; President-elect Donald Trump’s closing argument focused on the issue.
“I believe it’s a command we treat all persons with dignity and respect,” he said. “I’m not going to engage in silly debates about this.” Currently, Mace’s resolution is not privileged, meaning the House does not have to immediately vote on it. Even if the resolution were to be adopted this year, it would have to be reintroduced and passed in 2025 to be in effect for the 119th Congress.
