美国副总统JD·万斯在俄亥俄州为共和党州长候选人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米助选时，为一则有争议的竞选广告进行了辩护12。该广告中出现民主党州长候选人艾美·埃克顿与其疏远母亲，指控埃克顿撒谎，但未涉及埃克顿幼年遭其继父强奸的指控1。广告发布后引发跨党派反弹1，俄亥俄州州务卿办公室正在审查相关投诉2。
万斯对党内批评者表示不满，声称自己对那些"抱怨广告的程度比抱怨民主党人想对美国做什么的程度更多"的共和党人感到"有些厌恶"1。他敦促共和党人"停止抱怨"1。与此同时，拉马斯瓦米承诺投入400万美元进一步播放该广告1。共和党参议员约翰·胡斯特德公开表态不赞同，称"我不会投放那则广告"1。库克政治报告随后将俄亥俄州州长竞选从"倾向共和党"改为"不确定"1。
对此，前总统特朗普表示"我对此一无所知。我听说这位母亲对女儿非常背弃了"1，并称其为"非常不寻常的情况"2。
Vice President J.D. Vance campaigned for Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio and pushed back against party members criticizing a contentious campaign advertisement 1. The ad features the estranged mother of Democratic candidate Amy Acton and accuses Acton of lying, but does not mention allegations that Acton was raped by her stepfather during childhood 1. The advertisement has drawn bipartisan criticism, including from several Republicans 1.
Vance expressed frustration with internal Republican opposition to the ad, stating he felt "somewhat disgusted" by party members who complained about it more than they criticized Democratic plans for America 1. Ramaswamy committed to spending $4 million to continue airing the advertisement 1. Republican Senator John Husted distanced himself from the spot, saying "I would not run that ad" 1. The controversy prompted the Cook Political Report to shift Ohio's gubernatorial race from "likely Republican" to "toss-up" 1.
Trump weighed in on the matter, saying "I know nothing about it" while noting he had heard "this mother has been very disowned by the daughter," and called it "a very unusual situation" 2. The Ohio Secretary of State's office is reviewing complaints related to the advertisement 2. Acton and her brother were removed from their mother's custody in 1978 when their stepfather, Cletus Arthur, was arrested and charged with rape 1.
