‘No line he will not cross’: Obama slams Ramaswamy’s ‘cruel’ ad, hits out at Trump
Obama focused much of his criticism on Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who has continued to defend an advertisement featuring the estranged mother of his Democratic rival, Dr Amy Acton. Trump and vice president JD Vance have also defended the campaign, despite calls from prominent Ohio Republicans, including Governor Mike DeWine, to withdraw it.
Former US President Barack Obama has criticised Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's controversial advertisement featuring the mother of his Democratic rival, Dr Amy Acton. Obama slammed Ramaswamy, accusing him of abandoning basic standards of decency and exploiting Acton's personal history, including her painful childhood experiences of abuse, neglect, and homelessness.
The former president also criticized President Donald Trump and his allies for their lack of decency, pointing out Trump's focus on renovating the White House instead of addressing the cost of living. Obama campaigned in Ohio ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, where the election's outcome remains closely contested.
