Have the Dems learned anything about their backing for trans athletes – ie men – in women's sport: a policy which undoubtedly helped Trump to win? Apparently not.

Democrats in Massachusetts are plotting a revolt against House Rep. Seth Moulton after he made multiple statements condemning his party for supporting trans inclusion in women's sports, according to the Boston Globe.

Salem Democratic City Committee chair Liz Bradt told the Globe that she had heard from "several" people in the area who were considering running against him in Massachusetts’ Sixth District.

"We will find someone to run against him and win," Bradt said.

Moulton is up for re-election in 2026. But he has been the subject of intense criticism by members in his own state and party since last week, when he spoke out against his party's stance on trans athletes in women's and girls' sports in a New York Times article. Moulton has doubled down on his comments in several interviews since then, inciting more and more backlash from his party members.

Salem city councilor Kyle Davis, who is planning a pro-trans rally outside of Moulton's office this Sunday, told Fox News Digital that he will actively contribute to another candidate who challenges Moulton, and is even calling for the congressman to resign ahead of 2026.

"I certainly am calling on Seth Moulton to resign and will be supporting any Democrat and LGBT ally that runs against him," Davis said.

Moulton's original comments about the subject were rooted in his stance as a father to two daughters. In television interviews with CNN and MSNBC, the Democrat has stood firm and has not made any apologies.
