The U.S. women’s national soccer team this week accepted an invitation from Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to visit Congress’ upper chamber.
Schumer said he hopes to celebrate the team’s recent victory at the World Cup and push Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to bring up legislation to tackle the gender income gap, a cause that team co-captain Megan Rapinoe and her teammates have championed.

“That’s great! I love that. I’m interested to see what McConnell does. Thank you, Chuck Schumer, for inviting us out. We are very happy to accept your invitation to come,” Rapinoe told reporters Monday.
