In Ohio, an Ad and an Ass Take Center Stage

Washington Sun: “Just days before Election Day, a pair of topics have come out of left field in the final sprint and are overshadowing the Iran war and the economy, both of which dominated the campaign up until now.”

“The headliner is Republican Vivek Ramaswamy’s decision to broadcast an ad featuring Donna Arthur, the mother of Amy Acton — his Democratic opponent in the gubernatorial contest — accusing her of being a liar and having mental health issues. Acton’s mother lost custody of Acton and her brother after her husband was indicted on suspicion of sexually abusing Acton, who was 12 years old at the time. She hasn’t spoken to her mother in nearly 50 years.”

“The other is Sen. Jon Husted’s rear end, which President Donald Trump has admired and spoken about at length at multiple rallies. It’s become a running joke on the campaign trail as the Republican incumbent looks to defeat former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.”

Mediaite: Trump laments, “I made the mistake of studying his anatomy.”
