Trump fiercely defends Vivek Ramaswamy's controversial attack ad against Amy Acton
President Trump fiercely defended the controversial advertisement at the center of Ohio's gubernatorial race. Weijia Jiang has more details.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on the same campaign ad in Ohio and on Trump’s support for it, but they frame that support differently. NBC News twice foregrounds Trump’s endorsement and says he encouraged Ramaswamy to keep the ad on air, while ABC News’ headline only says Trump “repeats support” and the extract adds little beyond a discussion of campaign tactics. Democracy Now! stands out by emphasizing accusations tied to the ad and by saying Trump and JD Vance defended Ramaswamy, with one extract also calling the ad “despicable.”
