The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements.

"A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.  We are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it. Today we endorse Democrat Amy Acton for governor." https://t.co/XoayYHRQJA

Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad.

"After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

REPORTER: Why are you telling your supporters to vote by mail if you think it's fraud?

TRUMP: I'd rather have them vote in person, but they can vote by mail if they want. But there is a lot of cheating in vote by mail.

REPORTER: There's no evidence

TRUMP: You are fake news
