Senate rejects GOP bid to tie transgender sports rules to voting bill
TL;DR Summary
Senate Republicans tried to attach two transgender-related provisions—one barring transgender women and girls from women’s and girls’ sports and another criminalizing gender-transition treatments for minors—to a restrictive voter ID bill, but the measure failed 49–41 as Democrats opposed the changes. The effort appears aimed at framing Democrats as out of touch ahead of the midterms, even though the underlying voting bill lacks enough support to advance.
