Because that's not what the news is here.
Allegations against U.S. Rep. Max Miller, a White House adviser during President Donald Trump’s first term, have been public for years but have recently drawn increased media scrutiny amid an escalating legal back-and-forth with his former spouse, who is the daughter of U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio.
Also, it's not the abuse claims that are mounting... it's the focus on them. The original headline is accurate, and yours isn't.
It's the same headline, I just took out the democrat part and clarified his name. Also, the media scrutiny part is hilarious and confirming what I'm saying about the AP. Last comment.

This Republican U.S. Rep. Max Miller is so sick:
A recent article in the magazine Mother Jones revealed a new point of contention in their legal battle: a broken collarbone on their 2-year-old daughter that led Moreno to contact authorities. The pair, who were married in 2022 and finalized their divorce last year, presented different theories about how the injury occurred, according to court filings and police reports reviewed by the magazine.
Meanwhile, the father of the poor abused woman is Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno, who - somehow - saw fit not to comment after his daughter's and granddaughter's abuse:
Bernie Moreno declined to comment on the allegations raised by his daughter or on Miller’s response, but his spokeswoman issued a statement saying the senator was focused on his family.
It seems when someone is a member of the Republican party, they have to knowingly sacrifice not just the vulnerable members of their community - but even those of their family.
This is absolutely sick.
While challenging, a Democrat does have a chance if he gets support:
Terry Casey, a longtime Republican consultant in Ohio, said Miller remains in a strong position to win the Republican-leaning district, which stretches south from Cleveland and was won decisively by Trump two years ago.
That is unless Poindexter, who has been endorsed by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, can attract money significant enough to step up his advertising in the 7th Congressional District’s multiple media markets.
“Unless serious people are willing to put in serious money, I’d say beginning around $2 million, it’s all nothing but lip exercises,” Casey said.
The National Republican Congressional Committee declined to discuss whether it would match any influx of Democratic cash. Miller has significantly outraised Poindexter, although the Democrat’s campaign said it has seen a surge in social media followers in recent weeks.
And endorsement by Bernie - that is huge.
For those who want to support Brian Poindexter, here is his campaign site:
Because of course. You get issues with Democrats, but I’m convinced at this point it’s a given with Republicans
