No Senate Democrat Monday voted to protect women and girls in the Sports Act, which would prevent biological men from competing in women’s and girls’ sports.

A procedural vote took place on the Senate floor, and the Republicans needed at least 60 votes to break the Filibuster. They received 51. Sens. Angus King, I-Maine and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Voted with Democrats.

Four senators were absent – Democrats Elissa Slotkin from Michigan and Peter Welch of Vermont and Republicans Shelley Capito from West Virginia and Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming.

Read below for the democratic senators who decided to prevent the bill from moving forward.

Senator Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.

Baldwin made a statement to Pakinomist Digital Tuesday.

“In short: It is not the federal government’s place to tell state and local sports leagues across the country how to do their jobs,” she said. “I trust a trust in our state and local leagues to create thought -provoking politics where parents and players may be involved in the discussion about what is best for our children without the interference of the president or Congress.”

Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.

Cortez Masto said in a statement that she supported justice in women’s sports, but pulled the line when it came to alleged “government transcendent.”

“I support Fair Play and Security and don’t support transient athletes competing in girls and women’s sports when it comes to compromising these principles,” she said in a statement. “I think local schools, students athletes, coaches and parents are much better equipped to implement fair, strong policies on this issue than politicians in Congress.

“This carpet legislation would give everyone the opportunity to expose girls to invasive physical examinations, just because of the way they look. It is an incredible government overrun and puts young women at increased risk of abuse and harassment – something I’ve spent my career fighting.”

Senator Dick Durbin, D-Aill.

Durbin expressed similar concerns as Cortez Masto.

“Put yourself in the shoes of these families for just a moment,” Durbin said. “Imagine being a parent of a trans child and telling your child that they are not allowed to play on the same sports team as their friends at school because a politician said they couldn’t.

“It’s so personal, it’s so important and [because of Republicans,] We will vote to give any unspecified right to physically inspect a girl or a young woman if the other opposing team accuses them of being transking. My goodness. “

Durbin also pointed to NCAA President Charlie Baker’s testimony of legislators when he said he thought there were fewer than 10 transient athletes in Collegiate Athletics. The organization later changed its politics after President Trump’s “No Men Men In Women’s Sports” executive order.

Senator John Fetterman, D-Pa.

In a post of X, Fetterman suggested that he chose to be an ally of the “small” contingent of transient athletes.

“The little handful of trans -athletes in PA in a political maelstrom deserve an ally, and I am a. Depersonalized as ‘they/them’ in a political ad, but are just schoolchildren. Tome show voices or cruelty on social media is not a thoughtful, worthy solution.”

Senator Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz.

Gallego neglected the question for his voters in his state.

“Look, if you run and you have no other identity and you are not known for fighting for people to have a decent life, to buy a home, to be able to bring the American dream to their families, these are out of fringe problems what will bring you down,” he told NBC News.

“I’m not worried about it because I communicate with my colleagues Arizonans every day that I fight for them to make sure they get to live the American dream no matter what.”

Senator John Hickenlooper, D-Colo.

Hickenlooper told NBC News that Senator Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala, who introduced the bill, “tried to throw the social wars on something that really doesn’t exist.” He said that Trump’s ad about Trans athletes in women’s sports would only work once.

Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, D-VA.

Kain and Warner released a joint statement and said Congress had to focus on other things.

“Right now, Congress should be focused on passing on bills that lower grocery prices, not those who threaten to reject public schools and guts of world -class and universities and universities,” they said. “But instead, Republicans are ready to eliminate the Department of Education while trying to dictate how individual schools should run their sports programs and expose children to unpleasant review, invasive questions and even harass federal government. ”

Senator Angus King, I-Maine

King said in a statement that he understood concerns from students, parents and administrators of differences in justice and physical character, but still voted against the bill.

“But if a school in Maine decided to include a single transport student on one of their teams, schools all over the state would lose access to critical funding, which would be harmful to all students, a result disproportionate to the effect of a transgender athlete at a school their districts and their students and let states comply with their citizens’ will.

“Therefore, in the end, I am not comfortable to condition all federal education financing on a question that pronounces such a small number of students nationwide-including here in Maine and takes the decision-making power away from local communities.

“Finally, I think it’s strange that many of those who support this legislation have exactly the opposite position when it comes to women’s reproductive choices – that this issue should be left to the states – while the question of trans -transmanting athletes requires a federal solution that overrides local control.”

Senator Gary Peters, D-Mich.

Peters told NBC News that the question did not seem to resonate with voters in Michigan.

“This is not really a problem like in Michigan,” he said. “People will realize that it has really been a question that Republicans have tried to exploit.”

Senate Dems are facing setback after Bill to prevent boys from playing girls’ sports don’t break filibuster

Several democratic senators did not release a statement or said why they voted as they did.

These legislators included Sens. Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md., Michael Bennet, D-Colo., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., Tammy Duckworth, D-Del. Dn.y., Maggie Hassan, Dn.H., Martin Heinrich, Dn.m., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., Andy Kim, Dn.J., Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-minn., Ben Ray Luján, Dn.m., Ed Markey, D-Mass., Jeffer Merkley, D-NyR. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Patty Murray, D-Wash., Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., Alex Padilla, D-Calif Shaheen, Dn.H., Tina Smith, D-minn., Chris van Hollen, DM.D., Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, Sheldon. Whitehouse, Dr.i., and Ron Wyden, D-Or.

Pakinomist Digital reached out to these senators for comment.

The protection of women and girls in the Sports Act requires that title IX treats gender as “recognized solely based on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth” and would reject any adaptation to it to gender identity.

The tuberville-supported bill had more than 40 co-sponsors in the Senate. It would also codify one of Trump’s many recent executive orders, giving the policy better life.

A national exit vote made by the affected women for America Legislative Action Committee found that 70% of moderate voters saw the question of “Donald Trump’s resistance to trans -transmant boys and men playing girls and women’s sports and by transnry boys and men using girls and women’s bathrooms” as important to them.

In addition, 6% said it was the most important question of all, while 44% said it was “very important.”

Meanwhile, a recent New York Times/Ipsos vote found that the vast majority of Americans, including 67% of Democrats, do not believe trans athletes should be able to compete in women’s sports.
