The Senate on Saturday blocked an amendment that would ban transgender athletes from playing in women's sports. It marks the rejection of one of President Trump's priorities as he pressures Congress to act on a broad voting bill.

The House passed the bill earlier this year, but the president has since said he wants additional priorities added to the legislation, including the sports ban for transgender athletes. and a ban on all mail-in voting.
