Will Trump back women’s museum?
President-elect Donald Trump will face a delicate question after he takes office next year: whether to support building a women’s history museum on the National Mall.
The two main proponents of the bipartisan push, which has been going on for years, both have ties to the real estate mogul.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), whose Midtown Manhattan district includes Trump Tower, has been working on the proposal since 1998. Federal Election Commission records show that Trump donated to her congressional campaigns in the past.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), a member of Trump’s transition team, helped usher legislation through the House two years ago, along with Maloney, to study establishing a women’s history museum.
