'Stop whining': JD Vance tells Republicans he is 'disgusted' by backlash to Vivek Ramaswamy's Ohio ad featuring rival's estranged mother
In the $4 million ad, Donna Arthur calls her daughter, Democrat Amy Acton, a 'liar' and urges Ohioans not to elect her governor. Acton has said her stepfather abused her sexually when she was a child, and that she was taken from her mother's custody at age 12. President Donald Trump also sided with Ramaswamy, saying the mother 'went very rogue'. Voters go to the polls in 13 days.
Nancy Mace: Vance's defence 'might have cost JD Vance the presidency'.
Ohio senator Jon Husted said he 'would not have run that ad'.
Ramaswamy's betting odds plummeted, and a heckler was escorted from his rally by police.
