So Republican sources say Amy Acton's estranged mother appeared mentally unwell when the ad was filmed & she struggles to keep a straight narrative on the past. Here's what Trump said about her: “The mother looks like she’s totally lucid. She looks very smart actually.”
NEW on @zeteo_news Sources say Amy Acton's mom seemed mentally unwell when Ramaswamy's ad was filmed & she had trouble keeping a coherent narrative on the past. Some wanted to vet her more but *Ramaswamy himself* pushed ahead. @JSweetLI & Swin Suebsaeng:zeteo.com/p/republicans-warn…

One person allegedly involved with the ad is the same guy who led JD Vance’s sham opioid non-profit
NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy was warned by Republicans about the now-infamous Amy Acton mother ad. Asawin Suebsaeng and I dug into the back story of the ad for @zeteo_news and it's worse than you thought. One Ohio Republican said Acton’s elderly mother was “far gone” and visibly unwell when Vivek's team, along with ad firm the Strategy Group, filmed with her. Two people with knowledge of the matter say that even the Ohio GOP’s lieutenant governor candidate, Robert McColley, expressed reservations about the anti-Acton ad – though he is now forced to publicly defend it on the campaign trail.

Hell of a closing message
Trump tonight adds a new reason he must renovate the golf course "immediately," one that DOJ didn't mention in months of litigation: "Narrow fairways ... leading to a constant barrage of people being hit with wayward shots." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT…

Definitely a county to watch, my guess is that it votes right of the state though not necessarily by much (put Erie in the same bucket). Mahoning/Wood/Delaware are the competitive counties where I think the winner will be telling
Replying to @kkondik
Would you recommend watching Portage returns as the indicator for the overall final result?

72% of voters say they’ve seen “the ad.” Seven voters flipped from VR to Acton, just one from Acton to VR.

Republicans Warned Vivek Ramaswamy His ‘Rapist Protector’ Ad Was a Terrible Idea The Ohio gubernatorial candidate was told using Amy Acton’s estranged mother in an ad would backfire. The story of how it came together is even worse than you think. Read: zeteo.com/p/republicans-warn…

The Patriots Caucus sends its regards to the notorious conman Vivek Ramaswamy.
Zeteo confirms what I wrote last week, with new details: Ben Yoho was all over the Hag from Hell ad.

This is basically why the GOP is losing.
Trump: You'll be my guest at Mar a Lago. The problem is that for $5,000, the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that. That's not a good place if you're price conscious

This is an exercise in turning a depraved ad and a horrific miscalculation into a symbol of strength. Not sure Ohioans are going to agree.
🚨 BREAKING: Vivek Ramaswamy tells the Fake News outrage mob to SHOVE IT, he's NOT backing down after posting an ad of Amy Acton's mom calling her a liar "You never start a fight — but if you find yourself in one, you FINISH IT...They've attacked ME. They DEFAMED my mother to media SILENCE." "Yet at the same time, they'll trot out anything to attack a Republican." 💯 "The fact of the matter is I am running against somebody who is crazy, unstable and DISHONEST." "If they actually believe these are unfair attacks, you know what my opponent would be doing? She'd be agreeing to show up on a debate with me, as I agreed to on CNN and NBC!" There is no reason for @VivekGRamaswamy to apologize to these country-destroying Democrats. Acton has refused EVERY live debate invitation in the Ohio governor's race — including CNN and NBC affiliate WLWT — while hiding from unscripted questions and running millions in personal smears against him and his family! Amy Acton is getting the Kamala treatment. She must lose at all costs.

Democrat Amy Acton opens up about her childhood trauma being thrust into the Ohio Governor race, telling CNN she is learning things about her estranged mother that she doesn’t "even have time to process” in the final stretch of the campaign, and accusing her Republican opponent Vivek Ramaswamy of exploiting her mother in the attack ad.

Incredible closing message from the President.
Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."

There is a big difference between a 45-40 lead and a 49-44 lead. Over the last 10 years, we've seen a lot of 45D-40R polls in Ohio, but this year, we've seen a lot more of the 49D-44R variety.
