Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has come under fire for its latest advert attacking Kamala Harris’ pro-trans views, once again parroting the former commander-in-chief’s claim that the Democratic nominee is funding gender-affirming surgeries for “illegal aliens”.

The advert was posted on Trump’s social media channels on Friday (20 September), repeating his claims that Harris supports taxpayer-funded gender-affirming care for prisoners and undocumented immigrants.

The ad, branded “trans panic” by social media users, ends with the tagline: “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you.”

GLAAD president and chief executive Sarah Kate Ellis responded by telling The Advocate: "This reeks of desperation… [voters have] "repeatedly rejected candidates who target transgender people and have strongly stated that they want extremists out of our doctors’ offices and private lives.

        Check 270towin.com, popularity wise he has no chance. Unfortunately we have electoral college and with that he has 50/50 chance currently.

        That’s scarily too close.

        Edit: this is why it is important to make sure you vote. Historically electoral college typically matches popular vote.

        The manipulation is possible when the turnout is low. The gerrymandering also works the best with a low turnout, and if turnout is unexpectedly high it can backfire and turn otherwise red counties into blue. This is why it is important to vote, even in the states you think your vote doesn’t matter.

        What’s ironic is that the non voting population is so high, that if they all turned in and voted they would override everyone else who normally does.
