More than two dozen G.O.P. members of the House and Senate called on the International Olympic Committee to align its eligibility rules with President Trump’s transgender sports ban.

Eight Democrats joined the Michigan GOP to urge the Michigan High School Athletic Association to ban transgender kids from girl sports.

Republicans argued the bill was essential to protecting women and girls, but also made clear they were bringing it up to portray Democrats as outside the mainstream. It stalled in the Senate.

Republican senators are calling for a ban on transgender participation in women’s events ahead of the Summer 2028 Olympic Games. Over 24 Republicans signed the letter requesting the change, with Senator James Risch at the forefront of the efforts.
