Newsom becomes most prominent Democrat to buck the party and echo majority public opinion on trans athletes | CNN Politics:

A January New York Times/Ipsos poll found that 79% of Americans — including 67% of Democrats — said they believed female transgender athletes should not be allowed to play on women’s sports teams. A Pew Research poll released last month found that 66% of Americans favor laws that require transgender girls and women to play on the teams of the gender they were assigned at birth.

Despite this, last week saw every Democratic member of the House vote against keeping female sports exclusively for females. Good luck on social issues in the midterms.
