The votes are in. Here’s the difference between the American public & U.S. Senate on who supports protecting women’s sports:

Americans: 79%
Senators: 51%

Shamefully, the Senate has failed to reach the 60 votes needed to advance the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. The vote was 51-45.

Despite this disappointing result, I want to thank @SenTuberville for sponsoring this vital legislation and commend @LeaderJohnThune for bringing it to the floor.

Women and girls deserve their own sports and spaces. They deserve fairness and dignity, both on the playing field and in their locker rooms. And they deserve to know exactly who is voting against fairness, safety, and equal opportunity for female athletes.

Now we know. At least 45 Senators are content to ignore the will of the people and side with fringe activists against the women and girls in their home states.

If they think this issue is going away, they couldn't be more mistaken.
