Senate blocks Trump-backed transgender-athlete ban in voting-bill showdown
TL;DR Summary
The Senate rejected a Trump-backed amendment to a broad voting bill that would have barred transgender women from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, with the vote aligned along party lines. Sponsored by Sen. Tuberville, the provision was part of a package that also includes voter-ID and mail-voting restrictions; Democrats say they’ll block the bill without broader GOP support to overcome a filibuster.
