Has Vivek Ramaswamy, close friend of JD Vance, just plunged to an all time low in American politics? He is scrapping in second place in the race to become Ohio's next governor, with rival Amy Acton, a former physician, primed to become the first Democrat in that role in two decades.
And the attack ad he has just released has been labelled by critics as "disgusting", "outrageous" and the "scummiest thing I've seen in politics". In it, Acton's estranged mother labels her daughter a liar with a "serious problem" who will only make the state worse. What the ad fails to mention is that Acton and her brother abused by their stepfather, and she was taken out of their care at the age of 12. How on earth did this advert ever make it to air? And can we be sure that it will backfire?
Later, a sneak preview of Miles Taylor's new documentary 'Corruptionland' - he takes us into the kind of sums that the Trump family has made since they’ve been back in power.
