Trump's insult prompted Andrews to address the attack during her campaign appearance.

SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYMyHorryNews.com is a local news publisher, and the article has a named author and a direct account of a campaign appearance. The short report relies heavily on the candidate's remarks and gives little sourcing detail for its statement about polling.
- Source type — Local news outlet; a credible regional-news prior, though not a national wire or newspaper of record.
- Author attribution — A named reporter and contact address are provided.
- Transparency — The article identifies the appearance and quotes the candidate, but does not identify the polls it references.
The report includes direct quotations and concrete policy proposals, but it centers on one candidate's campaign appearance, supplies no opposing response, and leaves the polling claim unsourced and imprecise.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The article gives substantial space to Andrews's remarks and policy proposals but offers no response from her opponent or other independent perspective. It is a report from a candidate's campaign appearance rather than a comparison of the candidates.
- Source diversity — Most quotations and substantive positions come from Andrews; no opponent or independent expert responds.
- Counterarguments presented — The article does not present a counterargument to Andrews's proposals.
- Opinion vs reporting — The piece reports the appearance and attributes claims, with limited interpretive language.
The article is mainly a straightforward account of Andrews's appearance and remarks. Its positive description of her campaign and response does not amount to a clear partisan framing.
- Language tone — Mostly descriptive language, with no sustained partisan or ideological wording.
- Source selection — The report relies mainly on Andrews's statements at her campaign event and does not include a response from Graham.
- Framing — The story presents Trump's insult as context for Andrews's appearance without adopting an explicit political argument.
Senate candidate Annie Andrews used a Little River campaign appearance to dismiss a recent insult from President Donald Trump and discuss her positions on health care and transgender issues. The article reports that the South Carolina race has tightened, though it gives no polling details.
Andrews told supporters that Trump's name-calling would not distract her from the issues that prompted her Senate campaign. She also said her campaign was reaching out to independents and Republicans, and answered a question by opposing transgender surgery for minors and transgender women playing in women's sports.
At the appearance, Andrews proposed reversing Medicaid cuts included in the Big Beautiful Bill, restoring expired Affordable Care Act premium subsidies, adding a public option to the ACA and protecting Medicare. The article says polls show the race against Republican Darline Graham tightening, but does not identify the polls.

40 OUTLETSOutlets agree Trump endorsed South Carolina Senate candidate Darline Graham and used an anti-trans slur against Democratic candidate Annie Andrews in a social media post. Left-leaning outlets foreground the slur and condemnation of Trump, with some linking it to broader transgender-policy debates or Graham’s response. Center outlets generally pair the slur with Andrews’s response and the race’s competitiveness. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the endorsement and attack, with one presenting it as a political strike and another also reporting Andrews’s response and polling.
