US Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump have defended a controversial attack ad released by Republican Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign in the Ohio governor's race. The ad features the estranged mother of Ramaswamy's Democratic opponent, Amy Acton.
The spot drew criticism from Ohio's Republican Governor, Mike DeWine, who called the ad "wrong" and "deeply troubling," prompting a swift rebuke from President Trump. Trump posted on social media that Ramaswamy should keep running the ad because it was "hitting pay dirt."
Amid the fallout within the state party, Vice President Vance defended the campaign material on Wednesday, telling fellow Republicans to "stop whining" about the explosive ad and focus on winning the race.
