Top Democrat's Lead Vanishes Amid Fallout From Domestic Abuse Allegations

Lukas Mikelionis reports at Fox News:

Embattled Democrat Rep. Keith Ellison’s lead in the Minnesota Attorney General election appears to be vanishing amid allegations of domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend.

The congressman's bid to become the top law enforcement official in the blue state was supposed to be an easy task for a popular Democrat who holds one of the top positions within the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

But Ellison's lead has taken a dramatic cut since Karen Monahan came forward with her story in August detailing the physical and emotional abuse she suffered allegedly at the hands of Ellison.

"In one particular incident, Ellison allegedly [] dragged her from a bed and shouted 'F--- you, b---' and 'I hate you'," Mikelionis reports. "She also released a 2017 medical document in which she identified the congressman as the cause of her 'emotional and physical abuse'."

"Recent polls indicate that Ellison [is] in a dead heat race with Doug Wardlow, the Republican opponent, according to the New York Times," Mikelionis reports.

"The poll also found that 40 percent [of] surveyed voters said the domestic abuse allegations 'are a factor' in whether to vote for the Democrat," according to Mikelionis. "Another poll shows the congressman leading by five points."
