Since the "very powerful" ad (as Trump puts it) was released earlier this week by @VivekGRamaswamy against his Dem opponent, Amy Acton, featuring Acton's estranged mother who was apparently married to a second husband who raped Acton, Ramaswamy's betting odds on @Kalshi of winning the Ohio governor's race have dropped from 30% to 19%. This is the ad that @jdvance and now @realDonaldTrump have said Ramaswamy should keep up even after all decent people have said he should stop running it. Ramaswamy has said he'd keep running it but I bet ya he stops within the next 24 hours. Of course, Vance and Ramaswamy have both learned this behavior/mindset from Trump, namely that truth is irrelevant and that no behavior is too terrible to apologize for or even simply to stop doing. I wonder how Republican Senate candidate Jon Husted feels about this mess. Over that same time period, his betting odds on his winning his race have dropped from 36% to 31%. Trump also gave us Ken Paxton, Mike Collins, Michael Whatley, and Darline Graham (who will probably win but is a weak candidate). Both by his disastrous second-term as president and by endorsing weak Senate candidates, if the GOP loses control of the Senate everyone will understand whose fault it is. Maybe Michele Tafoya can save the Senate for the GOP...
