Donald Trump and JD Vance have both defended the Republican candidate for Ohio governor after his campaign featured the estranged mother of his opponent in an attack ad.

In the ad, Donna Arthur, Amy Acton’s birth mother, calls her daughter a liar and urges Ohioans to vote for Vivek Ramaswamy. It has sparked fierce backlash from Democrats and Republicans alike as Arthur lost custody of her children after her husband was indicted for raping Acton.
The president told reporters that it was an “unusual situation” but he didn’t see what that had to do with Ramaswamy. The vice president went even further, saying he was disgusted at fellow Republicans for “whining” about the ad and that Ramaswamy “calls it out like it is”.
The Ramaswamy campaign will reportedly spend $4 million to air the ad in the closing weeks of the race, which is expected to be close.
