Story summary

Businesses in Ohio are canceling events for Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican gubernatorial candidate, due to backlash over his controversial ad campaign against Democratic opponent Amy Acton. The cancellations come just days before the November 3 midterm elections and have led some venues to receive negative reviews on Google from people expressing disapproval of hosting Ramaswamy’s events. For example, Elliot's Wood Fired Kitchen in Newark explicitly stated it would not host an event featuring him. A top Ohio Republican confirmed that business owners are concerned about potential angry phone calls, social media attacks, and customer complaints if they host the campaign tour.
