Dem scrambles to change tune on trans athletes as Trump targets past record: ‘Annie Trannie’

Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Annie Andrews of South Carolina is distancing herself from transgender policies as President Donald Trump attacks her record before the midterm elections. Andrews, a pediatrician challenging Republican Sen. Darline Graham, told Fox News Digital she opposes biological men competing in women's sports and opposes gender surgery for minors, and said her positions have been misrepresented.

Trump spent the week on Truth Social mocking her with the nickname "Annie Trannie" and claiming her views clash with those of South Carolina voters. He also circulated an ad portraying her as backing male athletes who compete against female ones.

Her current stance sits uneasily with her earlier conduct. Andrews publicly opposed the state's 2022 Save Women's Sports Act, calling it "shameful" and "actively harmful." That law required public school and college teams, including intramural and club squads, to be labeled male or female, barred male students from women's teams and female students from men's teams unless no women's team existed, and bound private schools that played public ones to the same rules. Students harmed by violations could also sue their schools.
