Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) reacted on Tuesday to the re-election loss of Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio), his former son-in-law, according to The Hill's report on Moreno's reaction. The outlet reported that Moreno said he wished Miller "nothing but, actually, rehabilitation," which The Hill described as an apparent reference to Miller's high-profile domestic abuse allegations.

The Hill reported that Moreno made the remarks to TMZ DC, and that he said the matter had nothing to do with politics for him. The outlet's summary of the exchange is partial and ends mid-sentence, so the full wording of Moreno's comments is not available in this account.

According to The Hill's summary, Moreno holds a Senate seat and Miller serves in the House, and both are Republicans from Ohio. The headline and summary describe the result as a re-election loss. The summary calls the link to the allegations an apparent reference, a characterization made by the outlet rather than one confirmed by Moreno.

The summary does not give vote totals, the name of the winning candidate, or any timing for the result beyond Tuesday's reaction. It also does not say whether Miller or his representatives have responded to Moreno's remarks.

Tara Suter wrote the report for The Hill. No other source was available for this account, so the description of the election and of the allegations rests entirely on The Hill's summary.
