Vice-president dismisses criticism over political advertisement featuring the estranged mother of a Democratic opponent.
US Vice-President JD Vance has defended a controversial political advertisement from the campaign of Republican politician Vivek Ramaswamy, telling fellow Republicans that they should "stop whining" about the spot. The remarks address internal party complaints regarding an advertisement that features the estranged mother of Ramaswamy's Democratic opponent, Amy Acton.
The campaign ad has drawn significant attention and internal debate within the Republican Party. Rather than addressing the strategy concerns raised by party members, Vance pushed back against the criticism, urging GOP representatives to drop their complaints regarding the commercial's content.
