Vance tells Republicans to 'stop whining' after Ramaswamy attack ad in Ohio governor's race

US Vice President JD Vance defended Republican Vivek Ramaswamy's recent attack ad against his Democratic opponent in the Ohio governor's race. He urged fellow Republicans to stop complaining and focus on winning the election. The ad features Amy Acton, the Democratic candidate's estranged mother, who disputes her daughter's account of a difficult childhood that included homelessness and sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather.

Donna Arthur, who has not seen Acton since 1978, urges Ohioans not to vote for Amy Acton. Amy Acton has previously revealed that she was sexually abused by her stepfather when she was 12 years old, a claim supported by her brother.
