There is a growing possibility that two Democratic women doctors, who are major advocates of science and public health, may be elected to the Governorship of Ohio and a US Senate seat in South Carolina.
Dr. Amy Acton is a brilliant person who has now moved into a growing lead over Tech Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in the race for Ohio Governor.
As condemned by all decent people, Ramaswamy has reached a new low bar in political campaigning, with his posting of a political ad claiming that Acton has lied about being raped by her stepfather between ages 9 and 12, and with her mother abandoning her and fleeing out of state after her second husband was indicted for rape.
With no contact between her mother, and Acton and her brother since 1978, Ramaswamy had the gall to put the mother in the ad, demonstrating to all moral and ethical people how horrible a mother she was.
Ramaswamy has doubled down on the ad, despite many Republicans, including outgoing Governor Mike DeWine, who had employed Acton as Ohio Public Health Director, calling for the ad to be taken down, and Donald Trump backing the ad and Ramaswamy.
Amy Acton is the kind of person who has, despite her personal turmoil over being raped, accomplished a great career in public service, and will be a great Governor who has promoted the best in science and public health.
Dr Annie Andrews is a brilliant candidate for the Senate from South Carolina, and her opponent, Darline Graham, sister of the recently deceased Senator Lindsey Graham, was appointed and then nominated for the full Senate term, despite having zero qualifications, and demonstrated incompetence. The only reason that Graham has continued on as the candidate for the full term is due to Trump’s promotion and endorsement.
Polls indicate a strong likelihood that both Acton as Governor, and Andrews as US Senator, are likely to be elected, and let’s hope that is the ultimate judgment on the Republican Party, and Donald Trump.
Let us not forget that Donald Trump has hidden much of the Epstein Files, and the strong likelihood that Trump has violated many young girls over many decades, often in collaboration with Jeffrey Epstein, and now is defending the rapist against the victim.
If that is not enough to convince voters, then the nation is in deep, long term trouble.
