Chucky Creator Rebuts Minaj's AI 'Vote Red' Post

Nicki Minaj posted an AI-generated image of Chucky in a pink suit with a “Vote Red” badge, urging fans to support Republicans in the 2026 midterms. Child’s Play creator Don Mancini rejected the portrayal, saying Chucky would back Democrats and describing the character as protective of his genderfluid child and opposed to ICE. After Democrats regained control of the House and Senate, Mancini posted a real photo of a blue-haired Chucky and joked, “No AI, by the way!”
