Despite voting against female athletes, @Hickenlooper said he doesn’t think “transgender women should be able to compete in women’s sports if the other women object.” Sorry dude, you own this vote. No backsies.
"On Monday evening, Senate Democrats voted unanimously to block a Republican-sponsored bill aimed at preventing federally funded schools from allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports. In a 51-45 party-line vote, Democrats filibustered the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025, which needed 60 votes to advance.
"NBC News reported that Sens. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Peter Welch (D-VT) did not vote.
"The measure, H.R. 28, passed the House in January. It “provided that for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of such Act in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
"President Donald Trump signed an executive order, titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” in February.
BREAKING: The Senate just voted to invoke cloture to proceed with the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.
The vote was 51 to 45. . .
. . ." Why do Democrats think this is a hill to die on is baffling. It is a losing issue for them. The majority of voters agree that biological men should not be allowed to participate in women’s sports.
