Democrats Go Quiet After Trans Athlete Decision

“The Supreme Court’s decision on Tuesday to uphold restrictions on transgender female athletes drew a largely muted reaction, with Democrats mostly staying silent on an issue about which the vast majority of Americans agree,” the New York Times reports.

“Republicans celebrated the ruling, which upheld state bans on transgender athletes competing in women’s sports. But few Democrats seemed eager to wade back into an issue that proved divisive in the last campaign cycle.”

“None of the Democrats most often mentioned as potential presidential contenders in 2028 reacted publicly to the Supreme Court ruling. Most Democrats competing for key congressional seats stayed similarly quiet.”
