Trump continues to back Ramaswamy's attack ad, campaigns in Florida with midterms 11 days away

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign in Ohio's gubernatorial race has faced intense criticism after releasing a controversial ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother, Donna Arthur, who calls her daughter "a liar." The ad has attracted widespread backlash from the public and politicians across party lines, with some estimating it could cost up to $4 million in promotion. President Trump has defended Ramaswamy's decision to run the ad, suggesting that such tactics can be effective despite the ethical concerns raised by political analysts like CNN's Kaitlan Collins. The ad highlights deeply personal issues from Acton’s past, including her allegations of childhood sexual abuse and subsequent estrangement from her mother.
