The campaign of Ohio Republican governor nominee Vivek Ramaswamy said it would launch a $4 million ad campaign featuring a controversial video of his Democratic opponent’s estranged mom after it went viral online.

The video – which was shared widely on social media, including by the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. – has roiled the gubernatorial race by bringing the issue of Democratic nominee Amy Acton’s past abuse to the forefront. Acton has said she has not seen her mother since she was about 12 years old, when a man her mother married abused her and faced criminal charges.

CNN’s Patrick Svitek reports on the controversy, while Democratic strategist Paul Begala and Republican strategist Terry Sullivan condemn the ad as “a moral malignancy” and “stupid,” respectively. Also, CNN’s Abby Phillip discusses the controversy with her NewsNight panel of political pundits.

CNN polling across four key Senate races in the final days of the midterm campaign finds Democrats well-positioned in Michigan and Texas, with no clear leader in the races in Maine or Kansas.

The four states tell the story of a midterm playing field that has shifted in unexpected ways, leaving Democrats hopeful that they’ll be able to take control of the Senate after next Tuesday’s elections. That prospect largely seemed out of reach earlier this year, and it remains far from a done deal. But with President Donald Trump’s ratings underwater even in states he won easily in 2024, territory that was once staunchly Republican now appears to be up for grabs.
