Ohio venues are pulling out of hosting Republican campaign events featuring gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, as backlash grows over his advert featuring his Democratic opponent Amy Acton's estranged mother.

Ramaswamy has faced bipartisan criticism after his campaign produced an advert featuring his Democratic opponent's estranged mother, who called Acton "a liar."

Acton has said that she was sexually abused by her stepfather as a child, and has not seen her mother since she testified against him in court aged 12. She said that her stepfather was charged with rape before he fled the state with her mother.
