Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno publicly calls for Rep. Max Miller to resign from Congress following domestic abuse allegations involving Moreno’s daughter, Emily Moreno, and Miller’s alleged conduct toward her and their child. Multiple outlets report that Moreno describes Miller as a danger to his daughter and granddaughter and says Miller should not be allowed to serve in the House. Moreno also links his demand to a belief that Miller needs “serious psychological help.”
The allegations at the center of the dispute include claims that Miller held a gun to Emily Moreno’s head, broke their 2-year-old daughter’s collarbone, and engaged in other abusive behavior, according to reports that cite Emily Moreno’s accusations. Miller and his camp deny the allegations and say he will remain in the race for another term, with CBS News also noting his vow to stay despite the intensified public pressure.
Several stories describe the dispute as part of a broader, contentious GOP family feud tied to custody fighting. Overall, the reporting centers on Moreno’s escalation from previously avoiding direct comment to explicitly demanding Miller’s resignation, contrasted with Miller’s ongoing denial of misconduct.
