Defending female athletes in women’s sports from the radical left’s agenda and celebrating their accomplishments with the American Girls in Sports Day resolution;
Evidence
On May 2, 2024, Senator Marsha Blackburn introduced a resolution to recognize October 10 as 'American Girls in Sports Day,' aiming to celebrate and protect female athletes.
The resolution introduced by Senator Blackburn was referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on May 2, 2024.
On September 17, 2024, Senate Democrats blocked Senator Blackburn's resolution to establish 'American Girls in Sports Day,' preventing its passage.
On January 13, 2025, Senator Blackburn reintroduced the resolution to designate October 10, 2025, as 'American Girls in Sports Day.'
The reintroduced resolution was referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on January 13, 2025.
On January 21, 2025, Senator Blackburn, along with Senator Cornyn and 29 other GOP colleagues, introduced a resolution to recognize October 10 as 'American Girls in Sports Day.'
Assessments
Blackburn did materially advance the issue by introducing the American Girls in Sports Day resolution in 2024 and reintroducing it in 2025, but the resolution did not pass, so the promise was only partially fulfilled rather than fully delivered.
Senator Blackburn made repeated, sincere legislative efforts to both defend female athletes and advance the 'American Girls in Sports Day' resolution, introducing and reintroducing relevant resolutions across multiple Congresses. However, these efforts were blocked in the Senate and none of the resolutions passed. This demonstrates a serious attempt but no delivery of the promised outcome.
Senator Blackburn repeatedly introduced resolutions to establish 'American Girls in Sports Day', directly aligning with her campaign promise to advance such resolutions and defend female athletes. The evidence demonstrates consistent legislative attempts across two terms. However, the Senate blocked her efforts, and the resolutions were not adopted or passed. Thus, while there was substantial and repeated effort, the promise's substantive outcome was not delivered due to legislative opposition.
