Ramaswamy ad in Ohio governor's race draws criticism from Republicans
What happened
Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican nominee for Ohio governor, released a campaign ad that has drawn condemnation from members of his own party. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine publicly called on Ramaswamy to take down the ad. The ad has created division within the GOP during the final stretch of the gubernatorial campaign.

Left-leaning outlets characterize the ad as "vile" and emphasize the ethical implications, with The New York Times framing it as revealing "the ethical degradation of Trumpism." NBC News and ABC News lead with Republican criticism, particularly highlighting DeWine's statement that "it's wrong to run this ad."
