Sen. Jon Husted called on Rep. Max Miller to leave his reelection race and resign from Congress amid abuse allegations and a House Ethics Committee investigation. Miller denied the allegations and said he would remain in the race.
Husted said Miller should step aside and resign to focus on his daughter. Miller has denied allegations that he abused his ex-wife and daughter, and the article reports that he is under House Ethics Committee investigation over allegations of domestic abuse and illegal drug use. Miller said he would continue his campaign.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, the daughter’s father, had also called for Miller to resign; Sen. Tim Sheehy criticized Miller in a post responding to a dispute over the daughter’s stuffed animal. Husted faces a competitive reelection race, and the article says a recent Fox News poll showed him trailing former Sen. Sherrod Brown.
