House Republicans pass bill to ban transgender athletes from girls’ sports
- The House voted 218 to 206 to pass a bill banning transgender athletes from women's and girls' sports at federally funded schools and educational institutions, with two Democrats voting in favor and one voting present.
- The bill, called the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, was introduced by Republican Representative Greg Steube of Florida and seeks to amend federal law regarding sex recognition based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth.

- It is uncertain if the bill will pass the Senate, as it faces challenges due to the partisan control and the need for bipartisan support to overcome the filibuster threshold.
