Trump defends Ramaswamy's ad featuring Amy Acton's mom

What the coverage shows

Most outlets focus on the backlash to Ramaswamy’s ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother, and several note bipartisan criticism or the ad’s personal and ugly tone. Axios and the Associated Press are the only ones that explicitly mention the campaign’s $4 million spending plan, while CBS News and the AP foreground the family trauma angle in their extracts. The New York Times frames the story around Vance defending the ad, and CNN’s headline similarly centers defense amid growing backlash.
