South Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Annie Andrews has released a campaign advertisement clarifying her stance on transgender issues in response to Republican attacks. In the video, Andrews, a pediatrician, states she does not support transgender women competing in women's sports and has never performed gender-related surgeries on minors. This move reflects a broader trend among several Democratic candidates in competitive districts who are adjusting their messaging on trans rights to counter aggressive GOP-funded ads that frame the issue as a 'culture war' ahead of the 2026 midterms.
