dDemocratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy stated that he does not agree with biological men competing against women in sports.
Kennedy appeared on CNN on Saturday where he was asked bluntly about his position. The 69-year-old son of former attorney general and New York senator Robert Kennedy announced his candidacy earlier this month.

“I’m against people participating in women’s sports who are biologically male,” Kennedy said. “I think women have worked too hard to develop women’s sport over the last 30 years. I saw it happen, and I don’t think it’s fair.”
Meanwhile, the House of Representatives last week passed the Protecting Women and Girls in Sports Act, which prohibits educational institutions that receive federal funding from allowing transgender women to play women’s sports.

President Joe Biden has vowed to veto the bill if it reaches his desk, which is unlikely. Instead, the Biden administration proposed a new regulation that would require schools to allow elementary school students to compete on sports teams that align with their gender identity.
Kennedy’s opponents include sitting president and author Marianne Williamson.
