As the election approaches, the Trump campaign and Republicans nationwide are intensifying their advertising efforts, focusing on issues like biological males competing in women's sports and taxpayer-funded sex changes for trans-identified prisoners.
One individual, Gabrielle Ludwig, a biological male who played women's college basketball, has become central to these ads. Ludwig, who played on the women's team at Mission College in Santa Clara, California, appeared in ads targeting Democratic Senators like Bob Casey, Jon Tester, and Sherrod Brown. These ads prominently featured photos and videos from Ludwig's time playing basketball, where he towered over and was significantly older than the female players.
Ludwig's image also surfaced in this Trump campaign ad, showing him playing alongside college-aged women, interspaced with interviews where Harris defines her positions on trans issues, such as funding sex-changes for prisoners. This has thrust Ludwig back into the public eye, leading to considerations of legal action against the Trump campaign and the Senate Leadership Fund for using his image without permission.
