Ohio gubernatorial candidate enlists estranged mother in attack on opponent

The political battle in Ohio escalates as Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy faces backlash for using the mother of his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton, in a controversial ad. The video features Donna Arthur accusing her daughter of lying and urging voters not to support her. Acton, who has a traumatic past involving abuse, has condemned the ad, stating it exploits her painful history. Ramaswamy's campaign confirmed their involvement and plans to spend $4 million on the ad despite criticism from both parties. Prominent Republicans have also expressed disapproval, while some urge the party to focus on winning elections instead of the controversy.
