## Key points

- Minaj cast Chucky as Republican in an Election Day post.
- Creator Don Mancini said the character opposes ICE and supports a trans child.
- Chucky’s series ran for three seasons, ending in 2024.

## Summary

Nicki Minaj posted an apparently AI-created image of Chucky wearing a pink suit and a “Vote Red” pin on Election Day. Franchise creator Don Mancini rejected the Republican portrayal, saying the character’s story and values make him a poor fit for MAGA politics.

Mancini described Chucky as having a transgender child, protecting dolls and opposing ICE, and posted an image of the doll with blue hair. Chucky’s child Glen/Glenda appeared in the 2004 film *Seed of Chucky*; Mancini created the franchise with *Child’s Play* in 1988. The television series ran for three seasons from 2021 to 2024, while the most recent feature film, *Cult of Chucky*, was released in 2017.
