A lone Republican senator has blocked a congressional vote to create two new Smithsonian museums dedicated to American women and Latinos.
Casting his dissenting vote, Senator Mike Lee said they would further divide an already divided nation .
The legislation received unanimous bipartisan support by the remainder of the 100-member Senate.
Founded 170 years ago, the Washington-based Smithsonian features 19 museums.
It boasts of being the world s largest museum, education and research complex, with the newest Smithsonian museum - the Museum of African American History and Culture - added in 2016.
A museum for Latino history has been being considered for at least 20 years, after a government report found in the early 1990s that the Smithsonian displays a pattern of wilful neglect toward Latinos and almost entirely excludes and ignores Latinos in nearly every aspect of its operations .
Other progressives haven t been as patient with the team Biden is assembling.
Congressman-elect Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., told CNN Thursday that Biden s cabinet needs to move further to the left.
“We need to make sure here that President-elect Joe Biden is picking as many progressives to his cabinet as possible,” Bowman said. “But when I hear names like Rahm Emanuel and Bruce Reed, you know, it makes my skin crawl.
Rahm Emanuel, the former mayor of Chicago who also worked in the Obama administration, has been floated as a good fit for U.S. trade representative or Secretary of Transportation.
