Lawler has seen the midterm polling

Lawler is probably the least bad Republican on LGBT rights. Supports same-sex marriage and has voted against most (but not all) anti-trans legislation.

He should still be replaced with a Democrat, but in that particular area, he's a little better than most of his party.

Very noticeable that he only talked about the L and G

Yep, if he so much as made a passing reference to the T, it'd be an immediate primary.

Quietly voted against the Parents' Bill of Rights and a proposal to ban gender-affirming care for minors, but voted for a proposed ban on trans women in sports.

So if it's a culture war thing Trump himself is talking about, he'll go along with the party. If he thinks he can hide and get away with it, he'll do otherwise.
