Sen. Bernie Moreno says former son-in-law Max Miller should not serve in the House

Key Points:

• U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno, father of Miller’s ex-wife, publicly stated that Rep. Max Miller should not serve in the House due to domestic abuse allegations and urged him to seek professional help, citing concerns for the safety of his daughter and granddaughter.
• Miller, who denies the abuse claims, defended himself in a live video on X and announced he will continue his reelection campaign despite mounting pressure and calls for his resignation.
• The custody dispute between Miller and Emily Moreno has escalated recently, with conflicting accounts regarding injuries to their young daughter and longstanding accusations of abuse.
• Miller, endorsed by former President Trump, faces potential challenges within the GOP if he withdraws, with several Republicans reportedly considering running for his seat, while Democrats call for an ethics investigation and increased support for their candidate.
• The situation has drawn significant attention in northeast Ohio, where Miller narrowly won reelection in 2022, and the controversy is influencing the political landscape ahead of the November election.
