南卡罗来纳州民主党联邦参议员提名人在特朗普的攻击下反驳跨性别政策
美国全国广播公司数字新闻网援引消息，稳固的深红州南卡罗来纳州民主党联邦参议员提名人安妮·安德鲁斯博士表示，她反对女性体育赛事中出现生理男性参赛，以及对未成年人实施性别手术。
福克斯新闻决策室预测，民主党挑战者安妮·安德鲁斯已击败现任共和党参议员达琳·格雷厄姆（即已故长期任职参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的妹妹），赢得代表南卡罗来纳州的六年联邦参议员任期。
凭借这场令人大跌眼镜的胜利，作为独立候选人参选的儿科医生安德鲁斯，成为近三十年来首位在南卡罗来纳州联邦参议员选举中获胜的民主党人。
尽管格雷厄姆在南卡罗来纳州拥有极高辨识度的姓氏，且获得总统唐纳德·特朗普在竞选最后关头两次站台支持，仍未能帮助这位深红州东南部的候选人拿下胜利。

选情在竞选最后几周竞争日益激烈，与共和党和民主党结盟的外部团体在最后一刻向这场投票大战投入了大量现金和资源。
随着一些顶级无党派政治专家将选情转向民主党，特朗普在距离选举日不到两周时前往南卡罗来纳州为格雷厄姆造势。
“她聪明又出色，绝不会让你们失望，”特朗普在10月21日于南卡罗来纳州北部的造势活动中称赞格雷厄姆时说道。

民主党策略师马利·史密斯告诉福克斯新闻数字平台：“南卡罗来纳州不向任何国王低头。”
“特朗普总统试图在南卡罗来纳州钦定他的继任者，但选民断然拒绝了他的选择。美国人受够了选举支持特朗普的傀儡担任更高职务，这些人纵容特朗普的反复无常行为和公然腐败，”史密斯表示。
在大选期间，格雷厄姆强调自己支持特朗普的议程，延续哥哥在参议院的工作，并聚焦生活成本问题。
“我知道靠薪水过活是什么感觉。我的人生中有很多年都像很多南卡罗来纳人一样靠薪水过活，所以我知道他们在加油站的感受，”格雷厄姆近日在福克斯新闻《America Reports》节目中接受采访时表示。
“暂停征收汽油税是临时解决方案，我完全支持。我很高兴特朗普总统放宽了红色柴油的监管。我认为这对农民有帮助，但长期解决方案是放宽钻井和炼油厂的监管。”

安德鲁斯也将负担能力和医疗成本作为她参议院竞选的核心，并强调了她作为与儿童和家庭合作的儿科医生的经验。
“我万万没想到自己会竞选联邦公职，更不用说美国参议院席位，但我有20年在美国破败的医疗体系中工作的经验，在医院的诊室里亲眼见证了华盛顿的所有失败。我把这种经验带到竞选活动中，”安德鲁斯近日在接受福克斯新闻数字平台采访时强调。

在她的哥哥于7月突然去世后，共和党州长亨利·麦克马斯特任命格雷厄姆填补已故参议员当前剩余的任期，该任期将于今年年底结束。
在林赛·格雷厄姆去世时，他已在6月的南卡罗来纳州初选中赢得连任提名。在特朗普的敦促和支持下，格雷厄姆参加了共和党参议员提名特别选举，以接替她的哥哥。在两周前从有10名候选人的拥挤初选中晋级后，她在8月下旬的决选中击败了众议员拉尔夫·诺曼。

South Carolina Dem Senate nominee pushes back on transgender policies amid Trump attacks

The Fox News Decision Desk projects that Democratic challenger Annie Andrews has defeated appointed GOP Sen. Darline Graham, the younger sister of the late longtime Sen. Lindsey Graham, to win a six-year term representing South Carolina in the Senate.
With her major upset, Andrews, a pediatrician who ran as an outsider, becomes the first Democrat in nearly three decades to win a Senate election in South Carolina.
Having a very familiar name in South Carolina and receiving two 11th-hour campaign trail stops by President Donald Trump weren’t enough to help push Graham over the finish line in the ruby-red southeastern state.

The race became increasingly competitive in the final weeks of the campaign. And outside groups aligned with Republicans and Democrats poured cash and resources into the ballot box showdown at the 11th hour.
With some of the top nonpartisan political handicappers shifting the contest in the direction of the Democrats, Trump traveled to South Carolina with less than two weeks until Election Day to rally with Graham.
“She’s smart and incredible. She’ll never let you down,” Trump said as he praised Graham at an Oct. 21 stop in Upstate South Carolina.

Democratic strategist Mally Smith told Fox News Digital that “South Carolina bows to no king.”
“President Trump tried to hand-pick his successor in South Carolina, and the voters emphatically rejected his choice. Americans are sick of electing MAGA puppets to higher office who enable Trump’s erratic behavior and blatant corruption,” said Smith.
During the general election campaign, Graham emphasized her support for Trump’s agenda, continuing her brother’s work in the Senate, and spotlighting cost of living issues.
“I know how it feels to live paycheck to paycheck. There’s been many years in my life that I’ve lived paycheck to paycheck like a lot of South Carolinians. So I know they’re feeling it at the gas pumps,” Graham said in a recent interview on Fox News’ “America Reports.”
“Suspending the gas tax, that’s a temporary solution. I’m all for that. I’m glad that President Trump eased regulations on red-dyed diesel. I think that helps farmers. But the long-term solution is easing regulations on drilling and oil refineries.”

Andrews also made affordability, along with healthcare costs, a centerpiece of her Senate campaign, and highlighted her experience as a pediatrician working with children and families.
“I never in a million years thought I would be running for federal office, let alone a US Senate seat, but I have 20 years of experience working inside America’s broken healthcare system, coming face to face with all of Washington’s failures in my hospital exam rooms. And I take that experience and I bring it to the campaign trail,” Andrews emphasized in a recent Fox News Digital interview.

After her brother’s sudden death in July, GOP Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Graham to fill the remainder of the late senator’s current term, which concludes at the end of this year.
At the time of his death, Lindsey Graham had won renomination in South Carolina’s June primary. With Trump’s urging and support, Graham ran in a special Republican Senate nomination primary to succeed her brother. She defeated Rep. Ralph Norman in a late August runoff election after the two advanced two weeks earlier from a crowded 10-candidate primary.
