Senator Jon Husted (R-OH) has called on Representative Max Miller (R-OH) to withdraw from his House race due to allegations of domestic abuse made by Miller's wife and daughter. Husted had previously refrained from commenting on the allegations but changed his stance, stating that anyone who commits domestic violence is unfit for Congress. He emphasized the need for a thorough investigation by the House Ethics Committee into any credible allegations.
Husted expressed sadness over the personal issues becoming public and suggested that Miller should step aside for the benefit of his daughter. He stated, 'Given everything they are facing, I do not see how a campaign for Congress benefits any of them.'
Both Ohio senators are now calling for Miller's resignation, with Bernie Moreno stating that Miller needs 'serious psychological help.' President Donald Trump, who attended Miller's wedding, expressed sadness over the situation but stated he would leave it to the families to resolve their issues.
Miller and Emily Moreno are currently involved in a custody battle regarding their daughter, with court documents revealing allegations of abuse and drug use against Miller. He has denied the allegations, attributing them to his wife's mental health issues.
