Republican Sean Parnell on Monday suspended his 2022 campaign for the open Senate seat in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania.

The move by Parnell, who enjoyed the backing of former President Donald Trump, came a couple of hours after he lost a bitter fight for custody of his three children to his estranged wife, who in court testimony had accused Parnell of abuse.

Parnell called Trump to alert the former president of his decision to suspend his Senate campaign, Taylor Budowich, a spokesman for the former president, said.
