Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador has been working on a case that could determine the future of women's sports in America. 

Last week the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case Little vs. Hecox, which began in 2020 when Idaho became a forerunner for states with laws that ban trans athletes in women's and girls' sports. A trans athlete at Boise State, Lindsay Hecox, sued the state to compete on the university's women's cross-country team.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho granted a preliminary injunction, blocking the law from being enforced because it found the plaintiffs were likely to succeed in proving the law unconstitutional. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the injunction, but now the Supreme Court will have an opportunity to intervene. 

However, Labrador hopes for the Supreme Court to cast a decision with a wider impact than just letting one state carry out its own specific law on the issue. He wants a new national precedent. "I believe that that's what they're gonna do," Labrador told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. 

"I think they're going to have a big ruling on whether men can participate in women's sports, and more importantly, how to determine whether transgender individuals are protected by the federal constitutions and state and federal laws." 

Labrador is tasked with choosing an attorney to argue on behalf of his state, and the entire "Save Women's Sports" movement, in Supreme Court arguments. 

The AG shared what he intends for that attorney to argue. 

"The most important [argument] is that the 14th Amendment does not prevent a state from protecting its girls when it comes to participating in sports and that there's no special classification that allows boys to participate in girls' sports," he said. 

Labrador's first exposure to the Little vs. Hecox case was when it was filed in 2020, three years before he was Idaho's attorney general. He worked as legal counsel for the state in handling the case at the time, believing it was a matter of "common sense."

However, Labrador also said he witnessed how the issue had not been fully understood by mainstream society. He puts blame on the "scientific community." 

"For a period of time, society wasn't quite sure how to deal with it," Labrador said. 

"Somehow, the scientific community started finding these scientific evidence that there was no difference between a boy who was transitioning to a girl and a girl who was born a biological girl. And we just knew that was ridiculous, and that it was, it flew in the face of common sense, and I think now science and I think the debate has turned to a point where people realize they can speak freely of these issues." 

SCOTUS RULES ON STATE BAN ON GENDER TRANSITION 'TREATMENTS' FOR MINORS IN LANDMARK CASE

Two years before Labrador took over as the state's AG, two college students joined the defendant's list. 

Former Idaho State University women's athletes Madison Kenyon and Mary Kate Marshall joined the lawsuit in 2021 as willing defendants after having to compete against a male during their college careers. 

"My coach sat us down in the room and told us that we would be competing against a male athlete at a specific meet and just let us know. And I remember sitting there and kind of like, looking around the room being like, 'Well, what do my teammates think about this? What do we do?’" Kenyon told Fox News Digital. 

"So, for us, it was not a matter of whether I'm going to compete or not. I'm going to put everything out there that I have and see what happens. And sure enough, this male athlete beat me, beat all my teammates and that continued to happen the entire season. So, that's when I said, 'This isn’t fair.'" 

Kenyon added that she felt the situation was "swept under the rug" when it first happened.

"I think a lot of people saw that this was obviously not fair and this isn't going to last. And it was going to be a problem, and they didn't act on it." 

Kenyon said she was then inspired to join the lawsuit from an assignment in her speech class at Idaho State, where she wrote a speech about a piece of legislation she wanted to support. 

For Labrador, the support of young Idaho women was "supremely important" and costly to the women due to the common treatment of people who stand up and speak out on the issue by the opposing side. 

"Society was not being kind to them, the local media was not being kind to them, they were getting a lot of peer pressured to cave on this issue, they were being called all sorts of names, ‘bigoted’ and other things," Labrador said. 

Labrador said he saw the same treatment befall the other families in his state who were affected when a trans athlete competed against their daughters in high school competition. 

"The media tries to shame these families into silence and many times these families come out and speak out, but many times they just feel afraid to voice their opinions because of what the media does to them." Labrador said. 

Now, after years of widespread societal evolution on the issue, and political momentum from President Donald Trump and the GOP's unanimous stance on the issue, a new federal precedent could come into effect as early as next year.

Socialist 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani's primary victory shocked the Democratic Party establishment this June, as his campaign played into the hands of an evolving – and chronically online – New York City electorate. 

Scrolling through Mamdani's social media, his TikTok and Instagram pages resemble that of a New York City influencer. From the film-like filters and consistent fonts on his vertical videos to the cameos from celebrities, including model Emily Ratajkowski and comedian Bowen Yang, Mamdani's videos have amassed millions of views. 

However, if his social media strategy wasn't enough to attract voters' attention, the primary colors of his campaign graphics are likely to turn heads. Mamdani's cobalt blue, poster-like red and taxi-cab or MetroCard yellow are bright compared to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's muted red, white and blue color scheme. 

Mamdani's politics are a departure from the establishment Democratic Party, as the self-described Democratic socialist campaigned on taxing the 1% and creating government-run grocery stores, among other radical proposals. If Mamdani wins in November, he will not just become the first Muslim mayor, but the first millennial mayor of New York City. 

DEMS AT A CROSSROADS AS ESTABLISHMENT PLANS 'PROJECT 2029' WHILE SOCIALIST CANDIDATE WINS NYC MAYORAL PRIMARY

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is the youngest woman ever elected to the U.S. Congress. She was 29 years old when she took office in 2019, in a blue wave that elected progressive "Squad" members during President Donald Trump's first midterm elections. 

DEM SOCIALIST'S NYC PRIMARY UPSET SIGNALS 'GENERATIONAL' SHIFT IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY, STRATEGISTS SAY

Known by her supporters and detractors as AOC, the progressive Democrat was quick to seize on her millennial social media sixth sense. She has made plenty of headlines from her off-script Instagram lives and stories as her supporters and constituents chime in with questions for the Bronx and Queens representative. 

The social media strategy is one used by influencers, but in an ever-evolving media landscape, more politicians have seized on viral moments to send their message to the masses. Trump successfully used new media during the 2024 presidential election, appearing on long-form podcasts and creating viral TikTok videos. 

Ocasio-Cortez, along with her fellow Democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, endorsed Mamdani ahead of New York City's primary election. On primary day in New York City, Ocasio-Cortez hosted an Instagram Live conversation with Mamdani, who had a simple but effective message: "If I win, that rent's getting frozen. If Andrew Cuomo wins, the rent's going up."

On the Friday before the election, Mamdani walked the entire length of Manhattan, shaking hands with ordinary New Yorkers and supporters alike. However, Mamdani didn't just walk through Manhattan, he documented the journey, bringing his followers along for the ride just like an influencer would. 

The walk, from Inwood to Battery Park, has become somewhat of a rite of passage for New York City influencers over the past few years, as walking clubs like City Girls Who Walk NYC, and "Hot Girl Walks" have gained popularity in the fitness space. 

Mamdani appeared on the popular "Subway Takes" podcast, sharing his campaign pitch to Kareem Rahma's 1 million followers. Additionally, he joined 25-year-old progressive Democrat star David Hogg for man-on-the-street-style interviews in Washington Square Park, the site of popular TikTok series like, "What’s Poppin?"

Hogg recently left the Democratic National Committee (DNC) after stirring up tension over his $20 million plan to primary older incumbent Democrats he said were "asleep at the wheel" through his outside political group, Leaders We Deserve.

Mamdani also created his own viral moments on the campaign trail, riding side-by-side on CitiBikes with NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, whom Mamdani cross-endorsed on the ranked-choice ballot to secure his win over Cuomo and when he posted his subway-to-courthouse wedding photos covered by The Cut. 

While another such article by The Cut, "It Must Be Nice to Be a West Village Girl," by Brock Colyar, carefully articulated the changing landscape and demographic of New York City, Mamdani also met "outer borough voters," including older and immigrant New Yorkers, online. 

"One week ago today, we shocked the establishment and redrew the political map of New York City with a campaign relentlessly focused on the needs of working people," Mamdani said in a social media video, speaking directly to his followers and supporters alike. 

In the video, Mamdani explained how he won back voters "many had written off," including Trump voters and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams voters. Mamdani said he built a "coalition" campaign by speaking voters' languages, or at least trying to, to reflect the "mosaic" of New York City. 

Speaking in Hindi in another two-minute video with his signature filter, Mamdani even broke down ranked-choice voting ahead of the primary by pouring juice into cups with his and Cuomo's faces photoshopped on top, to show how consolidating his vote could land Mamdani a victory, and ranked-choice voting did just that.
