Sen. Bernie Moreno said Rep. Max Miller should not serve in the House as Miller denied domestic abuse allegations and said he would stay in the reelection race. The dispute could affect the race for Miller’s Ohio seat.
Moreno publicly criticized his former son-in-law, Miller, saying Miller failed basic standards for elected office and should seek professional help. Miller defended himself in a live video, denied abusing his former wife and daughter, and said he would remain in the race. The allegations have been public for years, and the former couple has presented different accounts of their daughter’s injury.
President Donald Trump said the allegations were accusations so far and that he would look into them. Miller’s Democratic opponent, Brian Poindexter, said someone facing such accusations did not belong in positions of power. Republicans Kevin Coughlin and Mike Dovilla were among those mentioned as possible contenders if Miller left the race.
