After losing re -election in 2024, former Montana senator, Jon Tester, has spoken against Trans athletes in women’s sports.
During an interview in the real time of HBO with Bill Maher on Friday, the tester said he agreed with the recent comments of the governor of California Gavin Newsom that allowing trans athletes in women’s sports and girls are “deeply unfair.”
“In that statement, Gavin Newsom is 100% correct,” said Tester. “We are talking about a very, very, very small amount of people who, by the way, men should not play in women’s sports. It is a lot of garbage.”
However, the tester also argued, like many other Democrats, that it is an exaggerated problem.
“The truth is that he has moved,” Tester said. “We are talking about that and Congress is acting on that, instead of acting on the issues that affect Americans.”

A recent one New York Times/Ipsos Survey He discovered that the vast majority of Americans, including most Democrats, do not believe that transgender athletes are allowed to compete in women’s sports. Of the 2,128 people who participated, 79% said that biological men who identify as women should not be allowed to participate in women’s sports.
Of the 1,025 people who identified themselves as Democrats or inclined Democrats, 67% said that transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete with women.
Meanwhile, a national output survey Made by the Legislative Women’s Action Committee for Women for America, it found that 70% of moderate voters saw the issue of “Donald Trump’s opposition to transgender children and men who interpret sports of girls and women and women and transgender men and men who use girls and women’s baths” as is important for them.
In addition, 6% said it was the most important issue of all, while 44% said it was “very important.”

The tester lost his seat against former Navy Seal Tim Sheehy in November, after completing three periods in Montana, a state that has constantly voted by the Republican presidential candidate for decades.
Despite the fact that many Democratic legislators and most voters have expressed their opposition to Trans athletes in women’s sports in recent months, figures such as Tester and Newsom have still presented other reasons not to support the legislation led by the Republican Party to address the issue.
While the tester suggested that the problem does not “impact Americans,” Newsom argued that the legislation to address the problem does not explain the fact that the transgender population is “vulnerable.”
The users of the social networks made fun of Governor Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., During the announcement of their new podcast.
“Then, it is easy to call that the injustice of that,” said Newsom in his podcast this week after stating that trans inclusion is unfair. “There is also humility and grace.
“Then, both things that I can hold in my hand,” the governor continued. “How can we address this problem with the type of decency that I think, you know, it is inherent to you, but not always expressed in the subject?”
President Donald Trump signed an executive order to prohibit Trans athletes in women’s sports and girls in February, but many states, including California, have refused to comply with it.
On Monday, the Senate Democrats voted almost unanimously to block the protection of women and girls in the sports act.
The law would have helped establish a stricter precedent to keep trans athletes out of women’s sports throughout the country, since many states have so far refused to comply with Trump’s executive order to address the problem. But not a single Democratic senator voted to help approve the bill, and philited him to get to Trump’s desk.
