Republicans confront (or sidestep) abuse accusations against midterm candidates

Candidates such as Eric Greitens, Herschel Walker, and Max Miller have been accused of abusing partners and, in some cases, children. But some party leaders aren't convinced voters will reject them.
A recent ad from Gary Black, a Republican Senate candidate in Georgia, opens with a message on the screen: "Imagine what Democrats would do to Herschel Walker if he becomes the Republican nominee."

Meanwhile, a voter settles into their sofa and turns on the TV, which plays a hypothetical Democratic attack ad: "Did you know Herschel's ex-wife accused him of, quote, 'physically abusive and extremely threatening behavior?' " a voice asks. "That she desperately sought a protective order after Walker threatened to kill her?"
