Annie Andrews Releases Transgender Issues Ad

Andrews says she opposes trans athletes and gender surgery for minors after Trump used an anti-trans slur in a new campaign attack.

  • On Thursday, Democratic Senate nominee Annie Andrews released a campaign ad stating she does not "support biological men playing in women's sports," directly addressing attacks in the South Carolina Senate race.
  • President Donald Trump attacked Andrews on Monday via Truth Social, dubbing her "Annie Trannie" and claiming she favored "Transgender for Everyone" while supporting opponent Darline Graham.
  • Graham and allies have aggressively targeted Andrews on transgender issues; Andrews previously opposed South Carolina's "Save Women's Sports Act" in 2022, calling it "shameful."
  • The Senate Leadership Fund recently invested $5 million in the contest as Andrews and Graham prepare for their first debate on Sunday, with recent polls showing Graham holding a one-point advantage.
  • Trans issues have become a GOP "Hail Mary" tactic in the midterm cycle, though Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson cautioned that candidates "You dont have to sacrifice any member of our community" to win.
