Governor questions ad content

DeWine told reporters outside the Ohio Statehouse that the video was deeply troubling. He stated it is wrong to run an advertisement with these specific details. The governor urged the Ramaswamy campaign to take the video down immediately.

Trump supports keeping ad

Donald Trump issued a rebuke against DeWine shortly after the request was made. The former president told Ramaswamy to keep airing the spot and accused the governor of disloyalty. Acton has not seen her mother Donna Arthur for decades following an abuse case.
