Amy Acton Won't Speak To Election Loser Vivek Ramaswamy After His 'Terrible And Despicable' AdHuffPost's live politics blog leads with Ohio Governor-elect Amy Acton winning more than 52% of the vote and saying she won't speak to Vivek Ramaswamy after his ad, in which her estranged mother calls her a "liar," omitting that the mother lost custody after the stepfather was indicted for abusing Acton as a child and later fled with him as a fugitive. The blog also rounds up post-midterm news: Justice Department resignations, uncalled Senate races in Mississippi and Alaska, Adam Smith's pledge to cut funding for Trump's Iran war, a Wisconsin infant's measles death, better-than-expected October jobs, and Elon Musk saying Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production.
