CHICAGO—Illinois Democrats still reeling from last year's corruption scandal around former Gov. Rod Blagojevich pressured their new nominee for lieutenant governor on Friday to step aside as more embarrassing revelations about his past emerged.

Scott Lee Cohen, a pawnbroker and political neophyte who pumped $2 million into his campaign, has been responding to charges of domestic abuse, steroid use and adultery since he won the primary for lieutenant governor on Tuesday.

Dick Durbin and the party's nominee for an open U.S. Senate seat, Alex Giannoulias.
