Illinois trans athlete conflict grows after tense track meet as state Republicans call for Trump's help

Awake Illinois founder Shannon Adcock joins 'America Reports' to discuss the debate over transgender athletes in girls' sports after female track runners were defeated by a biological male.

Tensions are mounting over trans athletes in girls' sports in Illinois, as the state continues to allow males to compete against and beat out females in sports across the state.

A youth track meet became the focus of national controversy after a biological male competed in the seventh-grade competition against girls at the Naper Prairie Conference Meet last Wednesday.
