Trump Uses Anti-Trans Slur in Post About Annie Andrews

Outlets agree that Donald Trump used an anti-trans slur about South Carolina Senate candidate Annie Andrews in a post endorsing Darline Graham. Andrews responded by emphasizing her campaign priorities, and former governor David Beasley condemned Trump's remarks. Left-leaning outlets emphasize Beasley's condemnation and characterize Trump's post as an anti-trans attack. Center outlets more often pair reports of the post with Andrews's response on affordability and other campaign priorities, while also reporting criticism of the language.
