WASHINGTON, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Republican Sean Parnell, whom former President Donald Trump endorsed in next year's toss-up U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania, said he was suspending his campaign on Monday, local media reported.

The decision came after Parnell lost a battle over the custody of his three children amid allegations of physical and verbal abuse of his estranged wife, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Parnell, an Army veteran, was attempting to win the seat held by conservative Republican Senator Pat Toomey, who is retiring after next year.

The Pennsylvania Senate race is seen as one of the most competitive races in the November 2022 congressional elections and could help determine whether Republicans succeed in their drive to win majority control of the chamber.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, a judge granted Parnell's wife primary custody of their children following allegations of past physical abuse and uncontrolled anger.

Why does a guy decide to run during a contested divorce custody battle?

Even if he’s pure as snow it’s a handicap with allegations etc...

Very irresponsible. Dodged a bullet.

The GOP better find a replacement fast. I am very concerned that the GOP is not offering up viable candidates in a lot of races.

Conservative Republican Pat Toomey?

If he did not support drain the swamp, build the wall, America first in all things, then he is not a conservative.

Support endless wars? Focused on tax cuts when the Fed creates money whimsically? These are not conservatism.

Build the Wall. Drain The Swamp. America First in all Things. Oppose any of that, you’re not Conservative.

/\

He ran and dominion gave it to the other guy.

He tried to fight it but was left high and dry by those ballchinianss over st the rnc.

And I bet the wife waited till he ran for office to file , just to rub salt in wound.

Says you.

That man is more of a leader than anyone since Patton imho.

Read his book Platoon.

We absolutely need this man in office of any sort.

He already lost to Lamb once. Isn’t that enough? Lance is a pretty boy women gravitate to. All he has to do is say the right things. No brains required just feelings. A domestic issue at home and nothing else matters(unless you’re a Clinton). Just look at how serious Beto is taken and for what?

Well if the allegations went beyond hearsay, would you want a wife beater in Congress (Either Body)?

I thought he should have challenged one of the leaders in the PA State House or Senate since he complained that they didn’t fight for him or Trump.

I think it’s my Senator, Rick Scott, who’s supposed to be driving the senate campaign bus. I’m not sure I think he’s doing a good job.

If Mitch gave him the keys, I’m pretty sure he’s not driving it well...

Might be some PTSD lurking there. I am sure Sean will do the right thing.

Typical.

Straw man IF.

If he was a wife beater there would be a domestic abuse charge
a restraining order

None reported in that article, and if there was any they would have included it.

There is none

There is an accusation by a woman .

” wife beater” ?,,, really ?

No I wouldn’t want one in Congress, and until Sean is charged with that your question is meaningless.

Rick Scott has already said he is suppoting the RINOS that Trump wants out, like Cheney! Don’t give money to the RNC.

Thank you for the book title correction.

Spoiler alert.
If you read the book, and I did, it will make your eyes sweat at least once.

( poor little kid )
