Bill to prevent males from women's sports receives no support from Senate Dems: Who were they?

Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., reacts to Democrats blocking a bill to ban biological men from women's sports and Linda McMahon being confirmed as Trump's education secretary.

No Senate Democrat on Monday voted in favor of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which would keep biological males from competing in women’s and girls’ sports.

A procedural vote took place on the Senate floor and Republicans needed at least 60 votes to break the filibuster. They received 51. Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., voted with Democrats. 

Four senators were absent – Democrats Elissa Slotkin, of Michigan, and Peter Welch, of Vermont, and Republicans Shelley Capito, of West Virginia, and Cynthia Lummis, of Wyoming.

Read below for the Democratic senators who decided to keep the bill from advancing.
