'Save Women's Sports' legal defense responds after 130 congressional Dems back trans athletes in SCOTUS battle

Former NCAA athletes Lainey Armistead and Madison Kenyon talk to Fox News Digital about how they ended up in a lawsuit to protect women's sports in a case that's now going all the way to the Supreme Court.
