Nancy Mace says Vivek Ramaswamy has run the most offensive ad of the cycle
The ad, backed by about $4 million, has drawn criticism from Republicans and Democrats and prompted warnings it could hurt the campaign.
- Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is spending $4 million on a campaign ad featuring his Democratic rival Amy Acton's estranged mother, Donna Arthur, who calls her daughter a "liar" in the spot.
- Acton was removed from her mother's custody at 12 after her stepfather, Cledith Arthur, was charged with sexually abusing her in 1978; Arthur remained married to him until his death.
- Republican Governor Mike DeWine and Representative Nancy Mace denounced the ad as "wrong to run" and "disgusting," urging Ramaswamy to remove it while critics labeled it a smear of a sexual abuse survivor.
- Vice President JD Vance defended the campaign, stating he was "disgusted" by fellow Republicans who criticized it, while some prominent Republicans told Ramaswamy to "stop whining about" the controversy.
- Former President Barack Obama criticized the ad on Saturday, stating "there's no line he won't cross," as the controversy damages Ramaswamy's campaign and affects GOP bus tour stops across Ohio.
