俄亥俄州共和党州长候选人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米（Vivek Ramaswamy）证实已停止投放一段针对其民主党对手艾米·阿克顿（Amy Acton）的攻击性竞选广告 12。尽管前总统唐纳德·特朗普曾公开为这则极具争议的广告辩护，包括在周三与拉马斯瓦米的共同集会上为其站台，但拉马斯瓦米声称该广告已自然播完并结束生命周期 2。目前这场围绕负面广告的风波已结束，拉马斯瓦米呼吁将焦点回归政策讨论 2。
争议的核心在于拉马斯瓦米团队上周宣布花费400万美元播放的一段广告，该广告利用了阿克顿疏远的母亲出镜，指责阿克顿撒谎 12。报道指出，阿克顿的母亲唐娜·阿瑟（Donna Arthur）早在1978年便失去了抚养权，起因是继父克莱迪思·阿瑟（Cledith Arthur）被指控在阿克顿10至12岁期间对其实施强奸，此外这位母亲此前还曾面临动物忽视的指控及多年家庭动荡记录 12。为了缓解部分批评声音，该广告曾被从60秒剪辑缩短至30秒以移除某些具体指控，但仍引发了广泛的公众反感 2。
面对对手的抹黑策略，阿克顿在周四的活动上明确谴责了这种行为，她表示：“我的对手现在故意利用我的童年。” 2。这一表态直接回应了广告中涉及她遭受虐待历史的内容，强调了政治竞选中个人创伤被工具化的问题 2。
Vivek Ramaswamy has confirmed that his campaign has stopped airing an attack advertisement featuring the estranged mother of his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton 12. The ad, which aired during the Ohio Republican primary, included accusations from Acton's mother labeling her a "liar" 1. Ramaswamy stated that the commercial had naturally "run its course" and urged for the election focus to shift back to policy discussions 2.
The controversial spot detailed Acton's childhood trauma, including claims that she was sexually abused by her stepfather between the ages of 10 and 12 2. Reports indicate that Acton's mother, Donna Arthur, lost custody in 1978 due to these abuse allegations against Cledith Arthur 2. Prior to the ad's discontinuation, Ramaswamy's campaign had invested $4 million in the advertisement, having previously shortened it from 60 seconds to 30 seconds to remove certain charges 2. Former President Donald Trump publicly defended the ad multiple times, including at a joint rally with Ramaswamy on Wednesday 2. In response, Acton condemned the tactic, stating on Thursday, "My opponent has now chosen to exploit my childhood intentionally" 2.
