14 OUTLETSCenter and right-leaning outlets report Husted urged Miller to resign and end his reelection campaign amid domestic-abuse allegations Miller denies. They also report a House Ethics Committee inquiry involving Miller. Left-leaning outlets focus on a separate account of Miller’s lawsuit against a daycare after his daughter was hospitalized with bruises. Center outlets pair Husted’s call with Miller’s denial and the ethics inquiry, sometimes noting other Republicans’ calls or Trump’s response. Right-leaning outlets include Husted’s argument that resignation would serve Miller’s daughter’s interests; townhall.com says his call was conditional on the allegations being true.
