Exclusive: Ramaswamy doubles down on explosive ad featuring rival's mother, despite backlash

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center on the same campaign ad and the backlash around it, but they frame the response differently. Axios leads with Ramaswamy “doubling down” and calls the spot a “bombshell” ad, while the New York Times headlines Vance’s defense of the ad. The Times alone specifies that the ad features Amy Acton’s mother and mentions the estrangement context in its extract.
