THE PARTY OF UGLY: GOP'S only midterm strategy is to continue to demonize transgender people

 
Headline:  New York Times, 3/21/2026

Michael Gold reports:
President Trump, who has made the voter ID bill his top legislative priority, had demanded that it include two provisions related to transgender Americans, neither of which have anything to do with elections. One would bar transgender women and girls from playing in women’s and girls’ sports, and another would criminalize gender transition treatments for minors. 
Neither of those measures, nor the voter ID bill itself, have the 60 votes necessary to move ahead in the Senate and become law. [emphasis added]
But that all-but-certain defeat did not stop Senate Republicans from seeking to shove the measures into the debate over voter identification and proof of citizenship, as G.O.P. lawmakers seek to capitalize politically on an issue that many Democrats remain deeply uncomfortable discussing.
