Trump Uses Anti-Transgender Slur to Attack South Carolina Senate Nominee

Trump seeks to boost Republican Darline Graham’s campaign after his political action committee spent over $800,000 to influence the increasingly competitive race, according to campaign filings.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump attacked Democratic Senate candidate Annie Andrews in a Truth Social post, using an anti-trans slur while endorsing Sen. Darline Graham in South Carolina's unexpectedly competitive race.
  • Recent polling has shown the race far closer than Republicans expected; the Cook Political Report listed it as likely Republican two weeks ago. Trump has taken personal interest in Graham, who replaced her late brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham.
  • Trump claimed Andrews supports 'Transgender for Everyone' and 'Open Borders,' while Republicans have criticized her past support for hormone treatment for children. He used the slur three times in the post.
  • Andrews did not reference Trump's comments in a statement responding to the post, instead stating, 'I'm in this race to fight for my patients, my three kids, and South Carolina.'
  • His MAGA Inc. PAC spent more than $800,000 to push Graham to victory, yet Trump allies told CNN they remain worried about her polling in the upcoming Election.
