“Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer heard a consistent, urgent alarm this week from Democrats who felt ambushed by GOP attacks on transgender people participating in women’s sports,” Axios reports.
“In two private postmortem meetings attended by Schumer, Democrats said the party was caught flat-footed by the attacks, even as many campaigns aired ads pushing back.”
“The GOP spent over $77 million on ads about transgender issues in U.S. Senate races in 10 states dating back to July.”
