The Senate has rejected a contentious amendment that sought to prohibit transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports, a move that thwarts a key priority of President Donald Trump amidst his push for sweeping voting legislation.
The vote occurred during a rare weekend session where senators were debating a comprehensive voting bill. This proposed legislation aims to implement stringent new requirements for voter registration and mandate photo identification at polling places, ostensibly to prevent undocumented individuals from casting ballots.
