Today's Poll Question: Will Ramaswamy's Attack Ad Using His Rival's Mother Help Or Hurt Him?

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Ramaswamy's ad using his rival's mother will: a) help him, b) hurt him, or c) make no difference. Vivek Ramaswamy's latest attack ad in the Ohio governor's race features Amy Acton's estranged mother calling her own daughter a liar. But there's a stunning detail the commercial leaves out: mother and daughter reportedly haven't seen each other in 47 years, and troubling court records tell a very different story. Michael examines whether the ad is political hardball or a spectacular miscalculation. Vice President J.D. Vance tells critics to "stop whining," while President Trump weighs in with his own reaction. Will this controversial tactic persuade Ohio voters, or will it backfire on Ramaswamy just days before the election? Listen here and rate, review and share this podcast - and vote at Smerconish.com!
