Tennis legend Martina Navratilova had a fiery reaction on Monday night after no Senate Democrat voted in favor of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act to break the filibuster.
The bill, led by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., failed to receive the 60 votes it needed to get through the procedural vote. Republicans needed 60 votes but only received 51. No Democrats sided with Republicans on the bill. Two Democrats were absent from the vote, as were two Republicans. The bill failed, 51-45.
Navratilova was one sports figure who weighed in.
"I don’t either and I am mad as hell," she wrote on X.
The 18-time Grand Slam champion is a staunch Democrat but has been critical of her own party for failing to support efforts to keep biological males from competing against women and girls in sports.
