Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) on Tuesday vetoed a bill banning transgender children from playing school sports, noting in a letter explaining his veto that "rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few."
Driving the news: Cox is the second Republican governor this week, after Indiana's Eric Holcomb, to veto legislation that would have banned trans youth from participating in school sports, making them outliers as 11 Republican governors have signed similar bills into law in recent years, per the New York Times.
