As of October 30, 2026, Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican candidate for governor in Ohio, pulled an advertisement featuring the estranged mother of his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton. The ad had drawn significant criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, including Vice President JD Vance who called the backlash "disgusted." Donna Arthur, Acton's estranged mother, described her daughter as a liar in the ad after Amy Acton was removed from custody at age 12 due to allegations of abuse by her stepfather. The ad had faced bipartisan rebuke and reportedly contributed to Ramaswamy’s poll numbers dropping; AdImpact reported that he fell behind Acton with voters after airing it. Ramaswamy's campaign confirmed the advertisement was no longer running but noted it had completed its planned run, during which they aired four other ads as well.
