‘He exploited my childhood’: Amy Acton slams Ramaswamy at Ohio rally, says 'it's not gonna work'

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton told supporters in Dayton on Monday (October 26) that her Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, was deliberately exploiting her difficult childhood in a “desperate attempt to save his struggling campaign”, eight days before the November 3 midterm election. Ramaswamy’s campaign is running an ad featuring Acton’s estranged mother, who calls her a liar. Her mother lost custody of her children after her husband was indicted in 1978 on a charge of raping Acton, then 12.
