Statement summary

Thomas calls the ad strategically poor and expects it to worsen Ramaswamy's already higher negatives relative to Acton.

“But the thing is, it's also just strategically poor. Vivek had much higher negatives relative to Acton before the polling started and when this ad came out. I can only imagine that's going to exacerbate, in a sense.”
