President Donald Trump called out Democratic Senate nominee Annie Andrews with a controversial remark in an Oct. 5 post, sparking criticism from establishment Republicans as the race with Darline Graham intensifies.
President Donald Trump took to social media on Oct. 5 to call out Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Annie Andrews, using a term that has drawn controversy from the left, while reaffirming his unwavering support for Republican nominee Darline Graham in the crucial South Carolina runoff. Trump highlighted Andrews’ radical positions, stating she is 'in favor of Transgender for Everyone, Open Borders, Defunding the Police, High Taxes, a Weak Military, and will absolutely fight to take your guns away.' He made it clear that Andrews is 'not for South Carolina,' urging voters to reject her dangerous agenda.
Andrews’ campaign, dodging the real issues, issued a brief response, claiming that voters should care more about policy than politics. Former South Carolina governor David Beasley, aligning with the left’s outrage machine, condemned Trump’s remarks as 'abhorrent,' insisting the election should focus on candidate merits rather than so-called division.
Graham’s campaign wisely chose not to comment on the post. The controversy arises as Graham’s fundraising faces challenges and the Senate race becomes increasingly competitive, with recent polls showing a virtual tie. Republicans statewide have seen a temporary dip in support, and the race is now within six points in a state Trump decisively won in 2022.
Trump, a tireless advocate for conservative values, has previously traveled to South Carolina to support Graham and is expected to return for another campaign visit. Graham, entering the runoff with limited cash reserves and relying on outside support, continues to benefit from a political action committee funding crucial anti-Andrews advertising to inform voters about the stakes.
