US Vice-President JD Vance has urged fellow Republicans to stop "whining" about a controversial attack ad that featured a Democratic candidate's estranged mother calling her a liar.

While campaigning in Ohio for Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican candidate for governor, Vance said he was "a little bit disgusted" by criticism from members of his own party.
