Reporter: “So how is today’s executive order going to impact the 2028 Summer Olympic in Los Angeles? For example, would a man who thinks that he’s a transgender woman be allowed to compete as a female on U.S. soil?”
LEAVITT: “It’s a very good question, and the president has actually mentioned this, that he does expect the Olympic Committee and the NCAA to no longer allow men to compete in women’s sports. And I think the president, with the signing of his pen, starts a very public pressure campaign on these organizations to do the right thing for women and for girls across the country. Again, this is an incredibly popular position. There have been many notable female athletes who have had the courage to speak out against some very powerful institutions in this country. They deserve to have a voice and a say. The president is bringing their voice to the highest level at the White House this afternoon, and he expects these organizations to comply with this federal executive order that he’ll be signing today.”
