CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

U.S. Senate · March 3, 2025

Roll call 100 · 119th Congress, session 1

S. 9 — Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025

A vote to end debate and allow a final vote In the Senate, debate can continue indefinitely unless 60 senators vote to end it. This vote is that attempt. It decides whether the Senate may vote on the thing at all — not whether the thing passes. A failed cloture vote usually ends the matter without anyone ever voting on its merits.

What was being voted on

119-S-9 — Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025

This bill seeks to amend the Education Amendments of 1972 regarding Title IX compliance in athletics. The legislation mandates that sex be recognized based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. Under this rule, it would be a violation for those receiving Federal funds to allow a person of male sex to participate in athletic programs or activities designated for women or girls.

The vote, broken down

Failed 51–45. A majority voted yes, but it needed 60.

How your senators voted

  • A majority voted yes, but this needed 60

    51 voted yes, 9 short of the 60 it took. A simple majority was not enough for this vote.

  • Every Republican who voted said yes, and every Democrat and independent said no

    No member of either party crossed over.

  • It would have failed either way

    9 of the 45 who voted no (43 Democrats and 2 independents) switching to yes would have made it pass.

    As voted
    51–45 Fails
    If the 4 who didn't vote had voted with their party
    53–47 Fails

  • The House passed H.R. 28, 218–206, in January

    It has the same title as this one.
