Democrat Amy Acton will reportedly not debate Republican nominee Vivek Ramaswamy in the Ohio governor’s race.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Amy Acton’s campaign manager Phil Stein said that she will not be “platforming a scam artist who spreads baseless lies.”
“Dr. Acton’s focus is talking with Ohioans, not platforming a scam artist who spreads baseless lies about her and her family, uses AI to falsely paint her as someone with a substance abuse problem, and shames Dr. Acton for being sexually abused as a child while Vivek stands with predators and abusers,” he said.
“Ramaswamy and his billionaire buddies have spent more than $50 million on disgusting, inaccurate attack ads that have been condemned as the ‘most vile and repulsive lies’ Ohio has ever seen,” he added.
As noted by reporter Henry Gomez, the “substance abuse accusations, which have not been substantiated, stem from an incident that police responded to at Acton’s home in 2019 in which, per the report, she told officers she’d been drinking and taken an unknown amount of prescription drugs.”
Vivek Ramaswamy responded in a statement, describing debates as the “equivalent of a job interview.”
“Debates are the equivalent of a job interview for candidates running for office,” he said. “Candidates need to be willing to publicly debate and not shy away from them out of fear of scrutiny.”
“It’s too bad for Ohio voters that Acton won’t take voter questions, won’t debate, quit after failing as Ohio’s health director, and has some serious issues now surfaced in multiple police reports. We pray for her, but this isn’t someone fit to lead our state of 12 million people,” he also said.

Sooo, you're saying that Amy is going to drop out of the race, Phil?
Don't listen to him! He's a liar.
Now what did that drug cure that Vivek was pumping on cable TV?
Coward. Democrats avoiding debates has become a chicken act to keep from getting shown to be the radical, evil dimwits they are. They should be ashamed, but they have none.
He is a scummy con man but she should still debate him
“””He is a scummy con man but she should still debate him””
He is a very slick talker. I don’t trust him but anything is better than a democrat.
What proof that he is a “scummy con man” do you have?
So, IYHO, he will be a worse governor than the Democrat?
Looks like racism to me.
Our Arizona Governess avoided any debates four years ago, and announced she will not debate anybody this time!
She is very bad debated and crooked, corrupted governor.
She vetoes anything which comes to her desk.
Last cycle she ran and hid in restroom when some journalist tried to ask her questions.
But the media are working hard to get her reelected.
Vivek is an assassin in a debate he would absolutely shred her. It is also true the rats are avoiding debates so voters will not see what despicable human beings they are. They know MSM will handle it for them by constant gotcha snd setup questions directed at any R candidate.
She shut Ohio down. Sent the elderly back to care homes, Covid and all.
He helped fund Chapter.
That campaign, where Acton refused to take action!
Refusing debates will be the New Democrat MO. They know they can not debate ideas. So they just won’t debate. All while saying, “I will not legitimize a racist, nazi, homophone, transphobe (whatever) by a debate.
Just like Talarico who won’t debate Paxton.
“Vivek is an assassin in a debate he would absolutely shred her.”
Most definitely! I’m not a VR fan, but he does have that skill.
Poor Ohio. Romneyswamy is a slimey douche. Casey was a better choice.
Translation from political speech to plain English:
“I know he will kick my ass in debate using facts and quotes. I decline to debate. Also, he is a racist foreign sexist homophobic pig.”
Ramaswampy thinks Americans are lazy and value football captains over imported H-1B Pajeet tech workers.
And Amy Acton is going to use this quote (given on Christmas Day, no less) repeatedly to Ohio's blue collar and tech workers who are seeing their jobs being given to street-sh**ting Dalit rapists.
