Sen. Bernie Moreno said his former son-in-law, Rep. Max Miller, should not serve in the House as Miller denied domestic abuse allegations in a video and said he would stay in his reelection race. The dispute is adding pressure to Miller’s campaign and drawing attention to a potentially competitive Ohio House seat.
Moreno said Miller fails the standards of character for elected office and called for him to seek professional help. Miller denied allegations made by his former wife, Emily Moreno, and said he would remain in the race; he also released investigative and court documents related to the custody dispute. The allegations have been public for years, according to the article.
Emily Moreno’s spokesperson called Miller’s video “shameful,” while Miller’s Democratic opponent, Brian Poindexter, said someone facing such accusations does not belong in public office. Democrats have called for Miller to resign and requested a congressional ethics investigation. Republicans were also considering possible replacements if Miller left the race.

73 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Moreno called for his former son-in-law, Rep. Max Miller, to leave the House amid abuse allegations, which Miller denies. Left-leaning outlets focus on Moreno’s response to questions about the allegations and Miller’s suggestion that Moreno acted politically. Center outlets generally pair Moreno’s call with Miller’s denial and reelection plans, with later coverage noting other Republicans’ calls and an ethics review. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Moreno’s accusations and support for resignation from other Republicans, while also reporting Miller’s denial.
