00:10transgender athletes in women's sports, an ongoing national and state issue.

00:19borders and policies he claims nearly destroyed America.

00:23Fox News Digital contacted Cheryl's campaign multiple times but received no response.

00:29Cheryl voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act in 2023 and February

00:342025.

00:36She co-sponsored the Equality Act and signed the Transgender Bill of Rights to ensure transgender

00:41rights.

00:42At the same time, Cheryl has described herself as an advocate for women's athletics.

00:47She co-sponsored the Women in NCAA Sports Act and championed a resolution awarding Billie

01:18for barring her from a women's race on May 3.

01:40sports.

01:53and Kamala Harris revising their views.
