JD Vance told Republicans to stop criticizing Ramaswamy's ad. Some aren't listening.
Vice President Vance defended GOP gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy amid bipartisan criticism of an ad that features the estranged mother of his Democratic opponent. - Clipped From Video data-uuid=a84bd7e5-2c40-3475-a1e7-78f1954bd6e5 height=540 src=https://media.zenfs.com/en/cnn_articles_875/e7ad9b4196e984c1679163122b2c2204.jpg width=960/> Vice President Vance defended GOP gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy amid bipartisan criticism of an ad that features the estranged mother of his Democratic opponent. - Clipped From Video Some leading Ohio Republicans began distancing themselves from a controversial new ad from their gubernatorial nominee, Vivek Ramaswamy, even as the president and vice president defended it. Vice President JD Vance warned Republicans on Wednesday not to break ranks over the commercial, telling them to stop whining about it. And President Donald Trump, who endorsed Ramaswamy early in the Ohio primary, told reporters at the White House he didnt know anything about it but heard the mother went very rogue on the daughter. Its a very unusual situation, Trump said. The viral ad has drawn bipartisan criticism for featuring the estranged mother of his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton. In it, Actons mother called her daughter a liar and urged voters not to support her. Acton has said she has not seen her mother since she was about 12 years old, when she says the man her mother married sexually abused her. He faced criminal charges and was declared a fugitive, Acton said. I would not have run that ad, Sen. Jon Husted, a key Ohio Republican who is in one of the countrys most competitive Senate races, said in a statement to the Associated Press published shortly after appearing at a Cincinnati rally with Vance and Ramaswamy. Another top Ohio Republican, Secretary of State Frank LaRose, told the ABC affiliate in Columbus that he probably wouldnt run an ad like that. LaRose is running for state auditor. At least one other GOP candidate in Ohio personally asked Ramaswamy not to air the controversial ad, a GOP operative told CNN. For months, Ramaswamy has largely run behind other candidates in the state in polling, and now there is a sense he could further jeopardize the GOPs brand with a last-minute stunt to drum up base support, the source said. Republicans in the state probably couldnt be more pissed at him, the operative told CNN. But another GOP operative downplayed the impact Ramaswamy could have, arguing that because he was running behind other candidates already, some of the concerns about him may already be baked in among GOP voters. What Vance said On Wednesday morning, Vance, a former Ohio senator, instructed his fellow Republicans to set aside any reservations about the ad. Politics is a tough business, and my message to my fellow elected Republicans is if you actually believe in the things you say you believe in, stop whining about an advertisement and go win the race in 13 days, Vance said at a news conference in Cincinnati. unknown content item - The initial video which was shared widely on social media, including by the presidents eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. has been roiling the gubernatorial race since it first showed up on social media, bringing the abuse Acton said she suffered at the hands of her stepfather to the forefront. Until Wednesday afternoon, the GOP criticism of the ad was mainly coming from national figures like Nikki Haley, who ran against Ramaswamy for president in 2024. But the comments by Husted and LaRose began to show cracks in the relative quiet among Ohio Republicans. Asked about the ad at the news conference, Vance declined to weigh in on its appropriateness but said he was a little bit disgusted that some Republicans appeared more outraged about it than they are about Democrats and their policies. Speaking later at a rally in Cincinnati that Ramaswamy attended, Vance brought up the ad on his own. He argued it was a justified response because Democrats have used every dirty trick in the political book against Ramaswamy. Now the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because guess what? Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar, Vance said. Ryan Smith, the former GOP speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, pushed back against Vances criticism of fellow Republicans responding to the ad. Stop normalizing bad behavior and embarrassing the party, Smith wrote on X . Ohio deserves better than this! Ramaswamys campaign leaned into the controversy over the ad Tuesday night, announcing it would spend $4 million to run the spot. Shes lied her entire life, Donna Arthur says in the minute-long spot. My daughter needs help, and she cant help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isnt doing that. The video was first published widely on Monday night by an Ohio political blogger, D.J. Byrnes, who is known as The Rooster. Byrnes told CNN he obtained the video from a voter who saw it as part of a poll and recorded it. On Tuesday morning, Actons campaign released a statement from her brother, Philip Stearns, denouncing the video and linking it to Ramaswamy. Its not surprising that Vivek Ramaswamy has stooped to such a despicable low as to attempt to turn the sexual abuse Amy endured at twelve years old from our birth mothers husband into a political talking point, Stearns said. After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amys rapist until he died. Later Tuesday, Actons campaign released a new ad featuring Stearns making similar points. Shame on Vivek, he says in the spot. unknown content item - Ad did not initially have political disclaimer Ramaswamys campaign initially did not confirm their involvement in the ad Tuesday, saying only that Ohioans deserve to know what Actons mother says about her daughter. But later in the day, Ramaswamy confirmed, It is an ad from our campaign. The incendiary spot will run on TV and streaming platforms, according to a spokesperson for the Ramaswamy campaign, Connie Luck. Axios first reported that news. from social media When it first circulated, the video did not have the standard disclaimer that political ads carry saying who paid for or authorized them, nor did it show up Tuesday morning as a paid ad in the race on AdImpact, the political ad-tracking service. And the first Ramaswamy campaign statement from Luck did not address whether it was responsible for the video. It suggested voters should consider the message from Actons mother and repeated her attack, asserting that we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth that the public needs to be aware of before deciding who to entrust as governor. The statement went on to argue that people who know Acton well including her own mother are clearly warning Ohioans not to vote for her. Ohioans deserve to know that, Luck said. An official with V-PAC, the main super PAC backing Ramaswamy, said it did not make the video. CNN has attempted to contact Arthur for more information about how the video came together. Ramaswamy was heckled at a campaign event Tuesday evening by a person appearing to cite the viral video. Within seconds of Ramaswamy taking the stage at a Columbus-area town hall, an audience member rose up and began yelling at him, making a reference to Amy Actons mother and the abuse that the candidate says she suffered from her mothers husband at a young age. Sir, if you want to be patient and you want to ask a question at the end, youre free to do that, Ramaswamy said as the man was escorted out. Thank you for your contribution today. Speaking with reporters after the event, Ramaswamy took responsibility for the ad and reiterated that voters should take into account what people who know Acton well are saying about her. He said he has never met the mother and that she was not compensated for the ad. unknown content item - Acton herself weighed in during an interview with WOSU Public Media . Its awful to see her this way, and its even more incredible to see that my opponent (Ramaswamy) has taken advantage of someone whos clearly not well, who is older, and this is totally in line with who he is, Acton said. Her criticism joined the growing chorus. Haley, Ramaswamys 2024 primary rival, said the ad was the latest evidence that Ramaswamy is a bad guy. Its a shame he continues to get away with it, she wrote on X . Meghan McCain, the daughter of the late Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain, said on X that the ad was dastardly and never should have been created. Sherrod Brown, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Ohio, said on X that the video was disgusting and that Husted should condemn it. The Democratic Governors Association said in a statement that the video was part of a relentless smear campaign that Ramaswamy has waged against Acton. Acton and Ramaswamy are locked in one of the most competitive governors races in the country, vying to replace term-limited Republican Mike DeWine. The ads in the race have been especially nasty, fueling a controversial decision by Acton to decline to debate Ramaswamy. Republican candidates in the state are preparing for a statewide bus tour starting Friday. DeWines office also has not commented on the ad. He defended Acton earlier in the campaign against criticism about Actons work as state public health director during the Covid-19 pandemic. A member of DeWines Cabinet, Lydia Mihalik, said Tuesday on X that the ad crossed a line. We can disagree on plenty of things without losing our sense of decency, said Mihalik, director of the states Department of Development. I dont have to agree with Amy Actons politics to believe that exploiting someones childhood trauma is wrong. Nick Owens, a Republican activist in Ohio, told CNN the ad is frankly despicable and would help Acton raise a lot of money. Owens, who calls himself a lifelong Republican, is a former county GOP chair in the state whos been organizing opposition to data centers. Acton, the former Ohio public health director, has spoken before about her estrangement from her mother and hardscrabble childhood. In a 2019 interview with the Youngstown Vindicator , she said her mother married a man when she was between ages 9 and 12 who abused her and who faced criminal charges. The family was living in a tent at a campground outside Youngstown at the time. According to legal documents provided by the Acton campaign, Actons allegations against her stepfather emerged in July of 1978 when her father testified to police his daughter was sexually abused by her stepfather. A day later, her stepfather was arrested for rape. He pleaded not guilty but was indicted by a grand jury in September of that year. By October, prosecutors asked for a warrant for his arrest. In the early 1980s, one record shows authorities were still looking for him, but there is no record of any further action in the case. I was lucky that it got bad enough, because it got me out of there, Acton told the Vindicator. She said the last time she saw her mother was at the courthouse when she tried to give her a kiss and Acton rejected her. This story has been updated with additional information.

Canadian airlines are cutting flight routes amid weakening demand for U.S. travel
Weakening demand for U.S. travel is prompting Canadian airlines to cut flights south of the border, with Air Canada canceling five routes for 2027. Data from aviation data and analytics company Cirium shows that the airline, Canada s flag carrier and the largest in the country by fleet size and passenger volume, has cut its flights from Montral to Seattle, Toronto to Boston and Charleston, and Vancouver to Nashville and Raleigh-Durham. The service between Toronto and Charleston, which the company started in March 2024, was the only Air Canada flight bringing Canadian snowbirds to South Carolina , one of the most popular U.S. states for their neighbors winter escapes. An Air Canada Rouge Boeing 737 MAX 8 approaches Los Angeles International Airport during a flight from Vancouver on September 18, 2026. These are the routes to U.S. destinations canceled by Air Canada next year: Montral-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) to SeattleTacoma International Airport (SEA); Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport (YTZ) to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS); Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Nashville International Airport (BNA); Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to RaleighDurham International Airport (RDU); Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to Charleston International Airport (CHS). According to aviation website SimpleFlying, three of the routes were already suspendedfrom Montral to Seattle, Vancouver to Nashville, and Vancouver to Raleigh-Durhambut were supposed to be reinstated in May 2027. However, all flights have now been removed. Flights from Toronto to Charleston, also already suspended, were supposed to start again in April next year, but they have been removed as well. According to SimpleFlying, only 66.5 percent of seats on flights between the two destinations were filled between March 2024 and July 2026, falling from 67.8 percent in the first year of service to 62.1 percent in 2025, despite fewer flights and less capacity. An Air Canada representative confirmed the suspension of the seasonal flight to Charleston to TheStreet. On the other hand, Air Canada announced it will resume flights from Toronto to Kentuckys Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF), which were last available in 2002. Newsweek contacted Air Canada for comment by email on Thursday morning. Other Canadian Airlines Have Already Withdrawn from the US Market As Canadian travel to the U.S. remains under pressure from the simmering political tension between the Trump administration and the Canadian government and from rising fuel prices, other companies have already drastically reduced services to the United States. Westjet, Canadas second-largest airline, has cut 10 U.S. routes this year, according to Cirium data cited by SimpleFlying. Flights from Edmonton International Airport were the most affected, with services to Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco halted this year. Flights between Edmonton and Nashville and Chicago were only operative for one season. A WestJet airplane takes off from Calgary, Canada, on January 21, 2021. The company also cut three routes between Vancouver International Airport and Boston, Nashville and Lihue, Hawaii, leaving the Canadian city without direct service to the latter. WestJet also cut its nonstop service between Toronto Pearson and Los Angeles in April, and removed the service from Winnipeg to Nashville in May. Montral-headquartered airline Air Transat ended all its flights to the U.S. by mid-June, which had been reduced by then to two destinations: Floridas Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. Flights from Montral to Orlando ended on May 3, while flights from Quebec City and Montral to Fort Lauderdale ended between May and June. Newsweek contacted WestJet and Air Transat for comment by email on Thursday morning. Why Are Canadian Airlines Cancelling Routes? The number of Canadians traveling to the U.S. has plummeted since President Donald Trumps return to the White House. Even though travel rebounded slightly last year, new figures show that the decline has not stopped. According to the latest data by the Canadian governments statistics agency, the number of Canadian cross-border trips last month was down by 29 percent compared with two years ago in 2024, with car border crossings down by 31 percent and air travel down by 19 percent. The pullback by Canadian travelers appears to reflect a combination of political backlash and weaker purchasing power, while decisions by airlines to cut back on services would appear to be straightforward common sense for carriers that want to stay afloat while facing dwindling demand. Trumps calls for Canada to become the 51st state have angered many Canadians who had already turned sour on his administration after the imposition of sweeping tariffs on Canadian goods, pushing many to avoid traveling south of the border. President Donald Trump is pictured with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney during a work lunch at the G7 summit in Evian, France, on June 16, 2026. It is also a decision that makes financial sense to many travelers, as a weak Canadian dollar has been making U.S. holidays more expensive. The Canadian dollar has weakened throughout 2026: it began the year at about $0.729 and had fallen to around $0.71 by Thursday. With fewer travelers choosing American destinations, airlines have responded by cutting capacity. Aviation intelligence provider OAG reported that Canadian carriers cut U.S.-bound capacity by nearly 10 percent in the first quarter of 2026, equivalent to about 450,000 seats, as demand moved away from traditional American sun destinations. Instead, Canadian airlines are shifting services to European and Caribbean destinations, which have seen a rise in demand. In the first quarter of the year, according to OAG, capacity from Canada to Costa Rica rose 15 percent and to Mexico by 5 percent, an increase which likely reflects a shift in leisure travel demand from traditional U.S. sun destinations, the company wrote.
