Missoula, MT, October 22, 2026 —
Republicans are divided over a campaign ad in Ohio’s gubernatorial race created by Vivek Ramaswamy. The ad features Amy Acton’s birth mother calling Acton a liar, a tactic that has drawn both condemnation and praise from Republicans.
The available account describes disagreement within the party over the ad’s approach but does not identify the Republicans who criticized or supported it. It also does not provide the ad’s wording beyond its description of the birth mother’s accusation, or explain the specific reasons supporters gave for praising the tactic.
Details about the campaign ad’s release, distribution and audience were not provided. The account does not specify when it appeared, how it was funded, or whether it was part of a broader campaign effort. It likewise offers no response from Acton or her campaign.
The information provided does not detail the circumstances surrounding Acton’s birth mother’s appearance in the ad, nor does it include evidence related to the accusation. As a result, the reported division concerns reactions to the ad’s tactic; the available summary does not establish the truth or falsity of the claim made about Acton.
Ramaswamy’s role is described as creating the ad. No further information was provided about his campaign position, the candidates in the gubernatorial race, or any subsequent developments. The disagreement among Republicans is the central reported development, while the identities of those involved and the broader political context remain unspecified.
