GOP Super PAC Injects $5M into South Carolina as Trump's Slur Backfires

President Trump’s use of an anti-transgender slur against Democratic Senate candidate Annie Andrews has triggered a defensive response from the Republican establishment. The Senate Leadership Fund is injecting $5 million into the South Carolina race to support incumbent Darline Graham, whom polls show trailing Andrews in a statistical tie. Former Governor David Beasley condemned the president’s rhetoric, while Democratic operatives argue the slur signals GOP panic in a state where voters are increasingly focused on cost-of-living issues rather than culture wars.

Billions Needed to Prevent Unrest and Starvation, Says U.N. Food Chief.

The head of the U.N. World Food Program, David Beasley, has warned that billions of dollars are needed to prevent mass migration, destabilized countries, and starvation in the next 12 to 18 months. Beasley praised increased funding from the U.S. and Germany last year but urged China, Gulf nations, billionaires, and other countries to step up their contributions. He warned that without sufficient funding, there will be mass migration, destabilized nations, and starvation among children and adults. Beasley urged leaders to prioritize humanitarian needs that will have the greatest impact on stability in societies around the world.
