President Donald Trump uses an anti-transgender slur in a Truth Social post targeting Annie Andrews, a Democratic physician candidate running for the U.S. Senate in South Carolina. Andrews is opposing Republican Sen. Darline Graham, and Trump’s remarks also urge support for Graham.
Outlets report that Graham’s seat is tied to her late brother, whose death led to Graham being appointed to the Senate in July. The Daily Mail and The Hill describe Trump’s post as explicitly directing voters to back Graham, while NBC News focuses on the use of the anti-trans slur in the context of the close Senate contest.
Across coverage, the core details remain consistent: Trump makes the remarks on social media, his target is Andrews, and the election is for the seat held by Graham. Differences are mainly in emphasis—some outlets highlight the race’s tightening and the political context around Graham’s appointment, while others concentrate on the slur itself.
