South Carolina pediatrician launches Senate bid against Lindsey Graham
Dr. Annie Andrews, a South Carolina pediatrician and former Democratic House candidate, made a bold announcement on Wednesday that she is throwing her hat in the ring to challenge Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham for his seat in the U.S. Senate. In a powerful three-and-a-half-minute political ad, Andrews wasted no time in calling out Graham, labeling him as “full of s—.”
Wearing her scrubs and surrounded by young patients, Andrews highlighted her two-decade-long career as a trusted pediatrician in South Carolina. She showcased X-rays of children suffering from preventable diseases like measles pneumonia and cancer, as well as victims of gun violence. Andrews passionately emphasized the importance of healthcare funding and the urgent need to address public health crises affecting children.
The ad took a sharp turn as Andrews shifted her focus to Graham, showcasing conflicting clips of the senator’s past criticisms of President Donald Trump juxtaposed with his unwavering support for him. Andrews condemned Graham’s flip-flopping and accused him of prioritizing political expediency over the well-being of South Carolinians.
Drawing attention to Trump allies and Cabinet members, Andrews criticized figures like Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Linda McMahon, and Pete Hegseth for their detrimental impact on healthcare, education, and national security. She lambasted Graham for supporting these controversial appointments and enabling harmful policies that benefit the wealthy at the expense of working-class Americans.
Andrews, a busy mom and dedicated pediatrician, dismissed accusations of being radical or extreme, emphasizing her commitment to fighting for a better future for South Carolina’s children. She underscored the pressing issues facing the state, from failing schools to healthcare access, and urged voters to join her in prioritizing common sense over divisive cultural battles.
In response to Graham’s decades-long tenure in the Senate, Andrews called for a change, stating that South Carolina deserves a senator who truly represents the interests of its residents. She vowed to prioritize critical issues like healthcare, education, and economic stability, pledging to advocate for policies that benefit all South Carolinians.
As Andrews gears up for a challenging campaign against Graham, she remains steadfast in her commitment to amplifying the voices of her constituents and fighting for a brighter future for the state. With a focus on inclusivity, hope, and progress, Andrews aims to bring about positive change in South Carolina and tackle the pressing challenges facing the state.
Fox News Digital reached out to Graham’s office for comment on Andrews’ campaign, but the senator has yet to respond. As the race heats up, all eyes will be on the showdown between Andrews and Graham, as South Carolina voters prepare to make their voices heard in the upcoming Senate election.
