Trump doubles down on defending Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad against Amy Acton
President Donald Trump doubled down Friday on his support of a widely condemned attack ad against Democratic Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton
BBC News
What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on the same campaign ad in Ohio and on Trump’s support for it, but they frame that support differently. NBC News twice foregrounds Trump’s endorsement and says he encouraged Ramaswamy to keep the ad on air, while ABC News’ headline only says Trump “repeats support” and the extract adds little beyond a discussion of campaign tactics. Democracy Now! stands out by emphasizing accusations tied to the ad and by saying Trump and JD Vance defended Ramaswamy, with one extract also calling the ad “despicable.”
