Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton condemns ad featuring her estranged mother
Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton is condemning a new ad circulating online featuring her estranged mother. NBC News national politics reporter Henry Gomez discusses how close the race between Acton and Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has become in the campaign's final two weeks
What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on the ad as the main story and identify it as controversial, with Acton’s response or condemnation central in NBC News and CNN. NBC News and CNN both frame the piece around Acton and her relation to the ad, while Reason instead centers Vivek Ramaswamy and says he is defending the ad. NBC News alone adds that the race has become very close in its final two weeks.
