## Key points

- Minaj shared an AI image of Chucky backing Republicans.
- Chucky creator Don Mancini said the character supports Democrats.
- Mancini renewed the taunt after Democrats won both congressional chambers.

## Summary

Nicki Minaj posted an apparently AI-generated image of Chucky wearing a “Vote Red” badge to encourage fans to vote Republican on US Election Day. Don Mancini, the character’s creator, responded that Chucky would oppose Republican positions on transgender rights and immigration enforcement, turning the exchange into a clash over the character’s politics.

Mancini pointed to Chucky’s child, Glen or Glenda, whose gender and expression are fluid in the *Child’s Play* films, and wrote that Chucky “protects the dolls” and supports a “BLUE WAVE”. After Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress and several local contests, Mancini teased Minaj again, noting his Chucky image was not AI-generated. Minaj has shared Chucky references for years and publicly joined the MAGA movement; she had not posted about the election results in the article’s account.
