Indiana Republicans have not taken kindly to Governor Eric Holcomb’s decision to veto a bill that would have banned transgender women from participating in women’s school sports.
Mr Holcomb, a second-term Republican who succeeded former Vice President Mike Pence in the Indiana governor’s mansion in 2016, wrote in a letter explaining his veto decision that the bill would almost certainly face legal challenges and that its authors had not clearly shown what if any existing problem with girls sports in the state it would solve.
