New Trump Ad Criticizes Harris' Support Of Trans Rights

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : In Missouri, incumbent GOP Sen. Josh Hawley ran an ad featuring Riley Gaines, a former collegiate swimmer who has become an advocate against trans women's participation in sports, and has testified in support of anti-trans legislation across the country.
38% : Voters overwhelmingly rejected candidates endorsed by Moms for Liberty, the right-wing extremist group trying to enshrine conservative values in public education, in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and Iowa school districts in 2022.
33% : But Trump isn't the only Republican candidate pushing anti-trans rhetoric as a strategy to cozy up to conservative voters.
31% : Over the last few weeks, Trump has also spent much of his time on the campaign trail repeating false claims that children are undergoing gender-affirming surgeries at school and without parental consent -- although there is no evidence of this happening anywhere.
23% : The new ad hinges on a now-viral moment during the Sept. 10 presidential debate when Trump warned that Harris supports "transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison."
22% : Trump has been highly critical of Harris' and her running mate Tim Walz's support of LGBTQ+ rights, and has vowed to roll back Title IX protections for transgender students, criminalize doctors who provide care to trans youth, and make it much harder for trans adults on Medicare and Medicaid to receive gender-affirming care.
