Senate Republicans are urging Rep. Max Miller to resign or leave his reelection race as he denies abuse allegations from his ex-wife. Miller says he will remain in the race, while other Republicans differ on whether to intervene.
Sen. Jon Husted called on Miller to end his campaign and resign from Congress, saying he should focus on what is best for his daughter. Sens. Bernie Moreno and Tim Sheehy also urged Miller not to serve or to step aside, and Sen. Katie Britt said senators should stand with Moreno. Sen. Mike Rounds said he would stay out of the matter and defer to those investigating it.
Miller denied wrongdoing and said he would continue his reelection campaign. He disputed Moreno’s account of a disagreement over a blue bunny, calling Moreno politically vindictive, and later told Moreno to stop the lies. Party officials are seeking to get Miller out of the race, according to a source familiar with the matter; the article says those efforts had not succeeded.
