Ramaswamy Campaign Doubles Down on Ad Featuring Rival's Mother
Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign is spending $4 million on an ad featuring his opponent's mother attacking her daughter, despite bipartisan backlash.
Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign is doubling down on a controversial ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother attacking her daughter. The campaign is investing $4 million in the ad, which tests well with voters, despite bipartisan criticism.
The ad features Donna Arthur, Acton's mother, accusing her daughter of lying and urging voters not to support her. Acton has stated her mother sided with her stepfather after he allegedly sexually assaulted her.
Some Republicans warned the ad could backfire, especially given national attention on child sexual abuse following the Epstein files controversy.
