House Republicans are introducing their own legislation to close the gender pay gap as the party battles criticism from Democrats that the GOP is anti-women

House Republicans are introducing their own legislation Tuesday to close the gender pay gap as the party battles criticism from Democrats that the GOP is anti-women.Democratic-backed bill dubbed the “Paycheck Fairness Act.”Stefanik stood up during a GOP conference meeting on Tuesday morning to encourage lawmakers to back her alternative measure, which she is billing as a rebuttal to the Democrats’ legislation, according to lawmakers who attended the closed-door session.

“Chris Smith has been there every step of the way,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro , the measure’s chief cosponsor, said during a hearing on Monday. Republicans, however, say Democrats are just playing partisan games, and forcefully rejected the idea that the GOP isn’t doing anything to help women. Supporting Stefanik's bill could also provide some cover for lawmakers who oppose the Democratic measure.

At the same time, however, the GOP recognizes that they need to do more to win back the female suburban voters who fled the party in 2018.

Donald Trump, GOP look to settle score with Democrats, media over Mueller investigationEmboldened by special counsel Robert Mueller's finding there was 'no collusion' with Russia, President Trump's allies are urging him to go on offense.
