Trump backs Ramaswamy over attack ad featuring rival’s estranged mother
US President Donald Trump called Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad on Democratic rival Amy Acton 'so good' and accused the media of a coordinated attack to undermine the Republican’s chances.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump endorsed Ohio Governor Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday, defending Ramaswamy's attack ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother. The ad alleged that Acton, a Democratic candidate for Ohio governor, is a liar, cheat, and thief. Trump described the ad as "so good" and accused the media of a coordinated effort to undermine Ramaswamy's chances.
The mother, whose husband was charged with raping Acton as a child, claimed the daughter has lied her entire life. Trump dismissed concerns about the mother's allegations, stating he had no knowledge of such abuse. The ad's release comes amid a growing conflict between Ramaswamy and Acton as the 2024 midterm elections approach.
