Deadline passes for Rep. Max Miller to be replaced on Ohio ballot as he faces domestic abuse claims

Miller is facing pressure from Republicans and Democrats as party groups weigh spending in a district Trump carried comfortably two years ago.

  • Embattled Republican Rep. Max Miller announced he will remain in the race for Ohio's 7th Congressional District, defying calls from party figures to withdraw amid scrutiny of domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife, Emily Moreno.
  • While Sen. Bernie Moreno urged him to withdraw, Miller retains support from President Donald Trump, who called him "a good person" and dismissed the legal dispute as a family matter.
  • Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters said on Sunday, "Everybody has to prove they are capable of winning," as Miller reported plans to invest $1 million of his own capital into his campaign.
  • Democratic challenger Brian Poindexter is capitalizing on the controversy, securing union endorsements from the United Auto Workers and AFSCME while promising to "serve with honor" to attract voters.
  • Miller won the seat with 51% of the vote two years ago in a three-way contest, though he acknowledged the president warned it would be "a tough race" in the 55%-44% Republican-leaning district.
