Ramaswamy's attack ad against Acton draws Republican criticism
Vivek Ramaswamy's ad against Amy Acton features her estranged mother. It has drawn criticism, including from Republicans, as the Ohio governor's race heats up.
The race for governor of Ohio, a US state, is intensifying, and one campaign advertisement has sparked controversy. The ad by Vivek Ramaswamy, aimed at Amy Acton, features Acton's estranged mother.
The ad has drawn criticism from Republicans. That is notable because the criticism also comes from the political camp in which Ramaswamy operates. It raises the question of whether the ad has backfired on its author rather than harmed Acton.
The source material, available only as a short introduction, gives no further details about the content of the ad, the specific criticism or comments from the campaigns. All that is known is that the ad has fuelled debate over campaign tactics in the Ohio governor's race.
