Idaho Gov. Brad Little told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that his state is prepared and willing to sue the federal government if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the election.
Idaho Republican Gov. Brad Little told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that his state is prepared to file lawsuits if a potential Harris administration gets in the way of Idaho’s effort to prevent trans inclusion in women’s sports.
« If necessary, that’s what we will do », Little said when asked if his state and Attorney General Raúl R. Labrador would sue the federal government if an incoming Harris administration tried to block his executive order to carry out the Defending Women’s Sports Act.
Little added that he is expecting pushback against his state’s ability to carry out that law from the federal government in the event of a Vice President Kamala Harris victory. However, he expects other states to follow suit in fighting back against that pushback, if it comes to it.
« We will probably do it in conjunction with some of our other governors, attorneys general and states, but we will do it in Idaho, that’s undeniable », Little said. « Some of these things need to have a critical mass to have standing, to be successful, but I know there’s many like-minded states that are going to do the same thing that we’ve done here in Idaho. »
Harris has been mum about her stance on transgenders in women’s sports throughout her presidential campaign. However, she has been a proponent of several federal efforts to enable transgender inclusivity in women’s sports on a national scale.
This includes the Biden-Harris administration’s rewrite of Title IX, which went into effect earlier this April, which multiple experts and witnesses previously told Fox News Digital would lead to an increased volume of trans athletes competing against and sharing locker rooms with girls and women.
Harris has come under fire multiple times for her role as attorney general of California in ensuring prisoners and illegal immigrants had access to taxpayer-funded transition surgery.
The vast majority of Harris’ Democrat allies in Congress have supported the Equality Act, as well. The proposed bill would require schools to include biologically male athletes who identify as transgender females on girls’ and women’s sports teams.
