Радикал Рамасвамі розколов республіканців через розміщення чорного піару проти суперниці на виборах в Огайо

According to Ukrinform's own correspondent, the radical populist Ramaswami, known for his anti-Ukrainian statements, paid for an advertisement directed against the nomination of the Democrats by Acton, in which the biological mother of the candidate calls her daughter a liar and hints at her alleged mental health problems.

However, Acton has not maintained a relationship with her mother since the age of 12, as she was sexually abused as a child by her stepfather, with whom she lives and in whose defense she became.

The advertisement was condemned by a number of influential Ohio Republicans, including the current governor Mike Devine and Senator John Hasted. Devine urged Ramaswamy to film it, calling the clip “extremely, extremely disturbing.”

At the same time, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance spoke in defense of Ramaswamy.

Details

Vance on Wednesday said he was “somewhat outraged” by how his fellow party members “whine” through ads, paying more attention to this than to criticism of Democrats.

Context

According to polls, Ramaswami is inferior to Acton in the gubernatorial race, and after advertising, his position deteriorated even more (50% against 43%).

What's next

In a lengthy post on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump called Devine “a Republican by name only, and said Ramaswami “should continue in the same vein. ”
