Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Uses Anti-Transgender Slur To Attack South Carolina Senate Nominee
Caption: Trump Uses Anti-Transgender Slur To Attack South Carolina Senate Nominee. U.S. President Donald Trump used an anti-transgender slur to attack Democratic South Carolina Senate nominee Dr. Annie Andrews in a social media post. Trump used a version of the slur three times while campaigning for Republican Senate nominee Darline Graham. Andrews did not directly address Trump's language, saying instead that she was running to fight for her patients, her children and South Carolina families. Trump has taken a particular interest in the race following the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham, Darline Graham's brother and a close political ally. Trump backed Graham's appointment, personally campaigned for her and saw his MAGA Inc. political action committee spend more than $800,000 supporting her primary runoff campaign. The race has become a test of Trump's political influence, with the Cook Political Report recently shifting its rating from solidly Republican to likely Republican. Trump praised Graham as loyal and reliable while highlighting comments he said her late brother had made about her character. Republicans have criticised Andrews over her past support for hormone treatment for children, while she has said she does not support gender-identity surgery for minors.
