$4 mn attack ad may sink Ramaswamy’s Ohio dream
A $4 million attack advertisement featuring Vivek Ramaswamy's rival Amy Acton's estranged mother has threatened the Ohio gubernatorial campaign of the Republican candidate. Ramaswamy, who entered the race with significant resources and Donald Trump's backing, initially held a lead over Acton. However, Acton has gained ground as more Americans disapprove of Trump and Republicans over economic issues.
The advertisement, which portrays Acton as a liar and questions her mental health, has put Ramaswamy's campaign under bipartisan criticism. Despite the controversy, Ramaswamy remains within striking distance in the polls, but the race is becoming increasingly competitive.
