Democrats Boycott Protecting Women’s Sports—Again
23rd September 2026
Not a single Democrat actively participated in Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on protecting women’s sports. Democrats did not show up, did not fill their two witness seats, or question the witnesses who were impacted by males competing in women’s sports.
Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin, the ranking member of the committee, claimed that America does not care about men competing in women’s sports and diverted his opening statement to his own agenda, then left. The other nine Democrat members on the committee did not show up.
According to polling, over 70% of Americans disagree with biological men competing in women’s sports, and over 60% favor laws that would require transgender athletes to compete on teams that match their biological sex instead of their gender identity.
