President Donald Trump defended Ohio’s Republican gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday, urging him to keep running an ad featuring the estranged mother of his opponent, Amy Acton.
Ramaswamy has come under fire for the ad blitz, which features Acton’s mother, Donna Stearns Arthur, criticizing Acton for “lying about her opponent” and “her past,” including claims that she “grew up living in a tent.” Some Republicans, including Gov.
