特朗普总统周一在针对参议员达琳·格雷厄姆（共和党，南卡罗来纳州）的民主党对手安妮·安德鲁斯博士的竞选中，多次使用了一项针对跨性别者的侮辱性用语，因为该参议院席位的竞争日趋激烈。
President Trump on Monday used an anti-transgender slur several times against Sen. Darline Graham's (R-S.C.) Democratic opponent Dr. Annie Andrews, as the race for the Senate seat tightens.
“安妮‘变性人’安德鲁斯正在南卡罗来纳州竞选参议员，对阵我们出色的达琳·格雷厄姆，”特朗普在Truth Social上写道。总统提到了格雷厄姆已故的哥哥、前参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（共和党，南卡罗来纳州），赞扬她的忠诚，并形容她是“我认识的最优秀、最可靠、也是最聪明的人之一”。特朗普调侃说，当这位前参议员说这些话时，会让他不高兴，“因为我以为我拥有所有这些优点”。
"Annie 'T------' Andrews is running against our wonderful Darline Graham for the Senate in South Carolina," Trump wrote on Truth Social. The president evoked Graham's late brother and Senate predecessor, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), to praise her loyalty and describe her as "the finest, most reliable and one of the smartest people I have ever known." Trump quipped that when the former senator would say these things, it would upset the president "because I thought I had all of those qualities."
“无论如何，达琳是一位高素质的人，也许是最高素质的，而安妮‘变性人’则不是，特别是在代表南卡罗来纳州伟大人民的价值观方面——她支持全民跨性别、开放边境、削减警察经费、高税收、弱军事，并且绝对会争夺夺走你的枪支——换句话说，她反对我们伟大的第二修正案！”特朗普继续说道。他在说安德鲁斯“不适合南卡罗来纳州”时再次使用了该侮辱性用语，随后呼吁选民选择格雷厄姆。
"In any event, Darline is a High Quality person, maybe the Highest, and Annie T------ is not, in particular, as it pertains to representing the Values of the Great People of South Carolina — 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 — In other words, she is against our Great Second Amendment!" Trump continued. He used the slur again is saying that Andrews is "not for South Carolina" before calling on voters to choose Graham.
安德鲁斯是一名儿科医生，也是三个孩子的母亲。特朗普的帖子发布后，她告诉《国会山报》，她“参选是为了为我的患者、我的三个孩子和南卡罗来纳州而战”。
Andrews, a pediatrician and mother of three, told The Hill after Trump's post went live that she's "in this race to fight for my patients, my three kids and South Carolina."
“而且我将与任何人合作，把南卡罗来纳州放在首位，因为降低成本、让全州家庭生活得更好，需要我们所有人共同努力，”她在一份声明中说。“如果你更关心你的账单而不是华盛顿的政治，这场竞选就是为你而设的。”
"And I'm going to work with anyone to put South Carolina first, because lowering costs and making life better for families across our state is going to take all of us working together," she said in a statement. "If you care more about your bills than the politics in Washington, this campaign is for you."
如果安德鲁斯在11月获胜，她将成为首位当选参议员的儿科医生，媒体Motherly在5月发表的对安德鲁斯的采访中写道。
If Andrews wins in November, she will become the first pediatrician elected senator, the outlet Motherly wrote as part of an interview with Andrews published in May.
“我希望我的孩子们知道，只要他们下定决心，就能做成任何事，”她告诉该媒体。
"I want my kids to know they are capable of doing anything they put their minds to," she told the outlet.
无论斗争多么艰难，每一场战斗都值得去战斗。我希望他们知道，我这样做是为了他们。是他们给了我坚持下去所需的力量。
"That every fight is worth fighting no matter how difficult it seems. I want them to know I am doing this for them. That they give me the strength I need to keep going."
据《纽约时报》报道，安德鲁斯的竞选主张是扭转特朗普导致物价飙升的政策，尤其是医疗和儿童医疗费用。
Andrews has campaigned on reversing Trump's policies that have caused prices to soar, in particular healthcare and children's healthcare costs, The New York Times reported.
但面对广泛且以保守派为主的选民群体，她也软化了此前的一些竞选立场，包括跨性别议题。
But she has also softened some of her past campaign positions, including on transgender issues, as she faces a widespread and largely conservative electorate.
她此前表示反对一项禁止跨性别运动员参加女子体育比赛的法案，但她告诉《时报》，她不“支持生物学男性参加女子体育比赛”。
She previously said she was against a bill to ban transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports but told the Times that she does not "support biological men playing in women's sports."
选举分析机构“库克政治报告”将该选情从“稳固共和党”调整为“倾向共和党”，理由是格雷厄姆在外交政策辩论中的失误以及安德鲁斯较低的民调支持率。
Election handicapper Cook Political Report shifted the race from "solid Republican" to "likely Republican," pointing to Graham's debate flub on foreign policy and Andrews' low polling numbers.
该报告肯定安德鲁斯“在进行一场真正的竞选”，并表示这有助于使比赛成为“真正具有竞争力的角逐”。
The report credited Andrews with "running a real race" and said this help could make it "a truly competitive contest."
