Olivia Rodrigo Wears Concert Shirt Supporting Dr. Amy Acton for Ohio Governor Amid Ramaswamy Ad Controversy

During her stop in Columbus, Ohio on the Unraveled Tour on Thursday, October 29, Olivia Rodrigo showed her support for Dr. Amy Acton's gubernatorial campaign by wearing a white T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan "Dr. Amy Acton for Governor." The singer then turned to face the cameras and gave a thumbs-up, highlighting the shirt for the audience watching at home.

Dr. Amy Acton, Ohio's current health director, is currently running to replace term-limited Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. President Donald Trump has been actively campaigning for her opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, who recently aired an ad featuring Acton's estranged mother in an attempt to criticize her. However, this ad has been met with heavy backlash from both Democrats and Republicans alike, with Dr. Acton's brother, Philip Stearns, denouncing it as vile.

Despite the controversy surrounding Ramaswamy's ad, Dr. Acton and her supporters remain steadfast, with the midterms set to occur on Tuesday and the potential for Democrats to make significant gains in the House, as well as contested Senate seats.
