Funding for the women's museum was appropriated in 2020 and signed into law during Trump's first term.
Now, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., is leading a bill to actually give the museum a spot along the National Mall so it can finally be built.
"We're very fortunate to be here with a bipartisan effort. And we have 80 co-sponsors of our legislation, both Democrats and Republicans," Malliotakis told Fox News Digital.
"It's very important, so we can share the stories of the women who have come before us," she added before listing famous females like Rosie the Riveter, a group of Black nurses who worked with tuberculosis patients in the 1900s, known as the Black Angels, and former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
And their effort is getting recognized by the very top levels of Congress.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., briefly stopped by the event and spoke with attendees, at one point appearing cheerful during a conversation with Carter.
Lynda Carter is best known for playing "Wonder Woman."
Dingell did not hesitate when asked whether she was confident about whether the project could be completed despite the current political environment.
"It has to," she said.

It was an evening of bipartisanship for Carter as well, a noted Democrat who campaigned for former Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 campaign.
She credited both Republicans and Democrats, however, for coming together on the issue of the museum.
The event culminated with the co-chairs of the bipartisan Women's caucus – Malliotakis, along with Reps. Monica De La Cruz, R-Texas, Emilia Sykes, D-Ohio, and Janelle Bynum, D-Ore. – presenting Carter with a frame memorializing her contributions to women in the Congressional Record.
