Trump backs Ramaswamy ad featuring rival Amy Acton’s estranged mother
Trump advises the Republican gubernatorial candidate to keep running the controversial advertisement.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on JD Vance’s defense of Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad and his “stop whining” line. NBC News and France 24 present the story in straightforward terms, while The Independent frames it more critically, calling the ad “reviled” and highlighting Scott Jennings’s condemnation. France 24 is the only outlet here to explicitly describe the ad as “explosive” and to say Vance urged Republicans to go win the race.
