A Bunch Of Anti-LGBTQ+ Candidates Are Running In This State. And They Have Trump’s Support.
HuffPost
The GOP primary races for Missouri governor and attorney general are full of people who have strongly opposed trans rights.
A handful of Republicans running for Missouri’s highest offices secured crucial support from former President Donald Trump ahead of the primary election on Tuesday — a boost for candidates who have all promised to further restrict LGBTQ+ rights in the deep-red state.
Missouri has already enacted several anti-trans laws, including a ban on trans youth playing on sports teams that align with their gender identity and a ban on gender-affirming care for minors, incarcerated people and residents enrolled in the state’s Medicaid program.
But the front-runners for governor and attorney general could champion even more stringent anti-trans policies if they win in November.
Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, praised three candidates for governor: state Sen. Bill Eigel, Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe.
“They are MAGA and America First all the way,” he posted on Truth Social, a conservative social media platform owned in large part by the former president.
