The campaign of Ohio Republican governor nominee Vivek Ramaswamy said it would launch a $4 million ad campaign featuring a controversial video of his Democratic opponent’s estranged mom after it went viral online.
The video – which was shared widely on social media, including by the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. – has roiled the gubernatorial race by bringing the issue of Democratic nominee Amy Acton’s past abuse to the forefront. Acton has said she has not seen her mother since she was about 12 years old, when a man her mother married abused her and faced criminal charges.
CNN’s Patrick Svitek reports on the controversy, while Democratic strategist Paul Begala and Republican strategist Terry Sullivan condemn the ad as “a moral malignancy” and “stupid,” respectively. Also, CNN's Abby Phillip discusses the controversy with her NewsNight panel of political pundits.

<br>Soon even the rich is going to learn ruling over hell is not as much fun as they thought it was going to be. Just like Donald Trump Satan also will learn there can be only one leader on top in charge of everything. There is no one percent club in hell. To stay on top they will have to be willing to backstab anyone… Even their own family. In time if you cannot learn from history you are doomed to repeat it. When it comes to bullying Caligula was one of the greatest ever known. Even his senators couldn't keep their own family having to give them up to the whims and pleasure of their leader. They say AI has total knowledge to this world, whoever owns AI will have that power again. No one ever said crushing ego's is going to be nice .
