The Ohio attack ad controversy

Donald Trump has backed Vivek Ramaswamy's controversial Ohio gubernatorial attack ad against Democrat Amy Acton, even as Republicans remain split over it. JD Vance has told Republican critics to "stop whining" about the ad, while Senator Jon Husted has broken with Vance to oppose it. Ramaswamy's campaign has fired back at Governor Mike DeWine over his criticism, and the ad continues to draw scrutiny for omitting that the husband of Acton's estranged mother was charged with raping Acton as a child. Ramaswamy's team has said it plans to spend $4 million promoting the ad.
