Abuse scandal roils Republicans ahead of US midterms
WASHINGTON, United States: US congressman Max Miller faced growing calls on Monday to drop his reelection bid as domestic abuse allegations engulfing his campaign raised fears among Republicans that they could lose his seat in November's midterm elections.
Miller, a former aide in President Donald Trump's White House, has rejected demands that he abandon the race in conservative-leaning Ohio before a Wednesday deadline, allowing Republicans to replace him on the ballot.
"No court, no agency has ever substantiated any allegation of abuse against me," Miller said in a video posted Sunday, insisting he would remain in the race and win.
"If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them," the senator said.
