Some Democrats Shift to Harder Line on Trans Athletes

A New York Times report says some Democrats, scarred by their 2024 election losses, are taking a harder line on transgender athletes in women's sports. The party is recalibrating its messaging ahead of the midterm elections, with some members distancing themselves from more permissive positions they see as politically damaging.
Why now: Democrats are rethinking positions blamed for 2024 losses as midterms approach.
