Ohio Republican Facing Abuse Allegations Slams Home State Senate Candidate
Miller allegedly said Husted is “as smart as a box of rocks” during a campaign stop, according to a report.
Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted faces allegations of abuse made by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. Husted has called for Representative Max Miller to resign from office and end his reelection campaign in light of the accusations. Miller has also faced a competitive race in Ohio's 7th Congressional District, where he denies any wrongdoing.
The Ohio Senate race between Husted and Democrat Sherrod Brown is also closely contested, with Brown currently leading in recent polls. Democrats are optimistic about flipping the seat, which could determine control of the U.S. Senate.
