tl;dr

Darline Graham said she would not have used President Donald Trump’s anti-transgender slur about her Senate opponent, but redirected attention to the opponent’s support for transgender treatments for minors. The exchange comes as Trump’s involvement and polling concerns put the race under renewed scrutiny.

Trump Endorses Darline Graham, Uses Anti-Trans Slur Against Annie Andrews

Outlets 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.
