Ohio governor urges Vivek Ramaswamy to remove ad showing Amy Acton’s mother
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine asked Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to withdraw a campaign advertisement featuring Democratic rival Amy Acton's estranged mother on Thursday.

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.
