Can only hope... But because he has ag trapped in a Stockholm Sydrome of dependency, where calling out the captor risks financial ruin, I'm dubious.

You appear to be a man. That would explain your theory.
I don't know a single Republican in real life that is going to vote for Amy Acton as a result of Vivek Ramaswamy's ad. Even Republicans who think it may not have been the best ad to run... still don't want a radical lockdown doctor making appointments and running our state for the next 4 to 8 years. There is no ad that would make me think a radical leftist should run the state for nearly a decade. This whole "Scandal" is a nothing burger that will not sway the election in any meaningful way. That said... like every other state in the U.S... Republicans need to be getting out and voting. Bring a friend! Let's win in 2026!!

It was incredible joining President Barack Obama, Sherrod Brown, and Dr. Amy Acton in Cleveland today to get Ohioans ready to elect Democrats up and down the ballot on November 3rd! Ohioans are fired up and ready to win in just 10 days. Let’s do this! 💪

I've had it with your both-sides-ism. We're in a Gol-damn knife fight to protect the Constitution and you're running around with a rereree hat on trying to call balls and strikes.
The disgusting attack ad in the Ohio governor’s race points to a much bigger problem in politics. The political parties don't care about the character or integrity of their candidates anymore. They only care about power — no matter what it takes. We need common sense leadership, and once again, the parties are failing to meet the moment.

Free trade is not fair trade. Sherrod Brown knows the difference. Vote @SherrodBrown for Senate. 🇺🇲

Tonight I'm thinking of wives and their daughters. Tonight I'm thinking of wives & wondering about the conversations they're having with their husbands who are leaders in these organizations and voted for this. Tonight I'm thinking about those wive's daughters who now know their dad endorsed a man who will label them as liars if they were ever brave enough to stand up to abuse. Tonight I'm thinking "Hell hath no fury..."

Hero for Ohio 🇺🇲
I sat down with local union members to talk about the rising cost of living, health care costs, and what it takes to bring good-paying union jobs back to Northwest Ohio. I fought NAFTA from the start, standing up to leaders in both parties. Our jobs went to low-wage, non-union companies in Mexico, and Wall Street pocketed the difference while working families here paid the price. I’ve spent my career working to rebuild what was lost. That means holding capital accountable, so the people doing the work share in the wealth they create.

Of course it’s Vivek’s ad.
Well here we have it, as reported by @MorganTrau, Ramaswamy's campaign acknowledges the Amy Acton mom ad is his. "At first, the Ramaswamy team did not take explicit responsibility for the ad... After this story aired, Ramaswamy confirmed it was his ad."

There IS no "Acting" Acton💙 Vote @amyactonoh
Rural Ohioans like Shelby County cattle farmer Chris know what’s at stake in this race. It’s time for a governor who sticks up for Ohioans in ag and works to lower their costs, expand access to healthcare, and fully fund our public schools.

As a farmer of 50 years, this is embarassing. This year one third of US farm income will have come from the taxpayers. The SAME taxpayers who are struggling at their own kitchen tables. I cant afford it, but how ever this comes, I'm pushing half to my local shelter and food bank.
Two weeks till the election— The Trump administration has announced $8 billion in fuel assistance for farmers. The Harvest Fuel Relief program will cover a portion of modeled losses for farmers during the 2026 crop year, the US Department of Agriculture said… bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Dead Americans, killed by the Trump administration, are now, simply,....."oopsy"
wow -- a sister asks Vance how as a person of faith he can justify ICE's brutality. Vance responds by saying "we're trying to strike the right balance ... sometimes you have people that make mistakes"

Translation: "I heard there's an opening in Greece"
President Trump is a kind, wonderful, gracious, thoughtful, enthusiastic, and hardworking man. I wish more Americans appreciated him. No one will ever make America great the way he has and continues to. It was an honor to work for him.

"I'll end that war in 24 hrs"
Trump: "I watched an interview of a young woman the other day from Ukraine. And she said, 'President Zelenskyy has destroyed our country. President Zelenskyy has taken our men away from us. Our men have no legs, no arms. Our men in many cases in mental institutions or they're dead.'"
