President Donald Trump has repeatedly targeted Democratic Senate candidate Dr Annie Andrews with an anti-transgender slur as he seeks to shore up support for Trump-backed Republican candidate in an unexpectedly competitive South Carolina race.
In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump referred to Andrews three times using the word 'trannie,' including branding her 'Annie "Trannie" Andrews.' The term is a transphobic slur, and Trump's post used it to attack Andrews over her positions on transgender issues. The attack came as Republican Sen. Darline Graham, the sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, faces a tighter-than-expected battle to retain the seat.
