(CNN)After House Republicans scrambled to defeat a Democratic proposal to protect federal workers from being fired on the basis of sexual discrimination or gender identity, Democrats brought the proposal back late Wednesday night and the measure passed.
The vote was 223-195 with 43 Republicans voting for the amendment. It will be attached to an annual spending bill for energy and water programs. A final vote on the broader funding bill is slated for Thursday.
Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney introduced his proposal, which he said was “to redo a mistake” last week on a proposal “to end discrimination in federal contracting.”
