Top House Republican backs Max Miller: ‘I support anybody with an R by their name’
Lisa McClain said Republicans must back Max Miller as the NRCC plans about $450,000 in campaign spending despite abuse allegations.
- On Sunday, House Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain defended Rep. Max Miller on "Face the Nation," dismissing calls for the Ohio Republican to resign despite domestic abuse allegations because she "will support anyone with an R behind their name."
- Emily Moreno, daughter of GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno, alleged the congressman verbally and physically abused her and their two-year-old daughter, including claims he pointed a gun at her and fractured the toddler's collarbone.
- The National Republican Congressional Committee announced last week it would spend roughly $450,000 on Miller's campaign, though Sens. Katie Britt, Jim Banks, and Roger Marshall have called on him to resign.
- Defending her position, McClain argued Miller has been a "good advocate for his constituents" while emphasizing her focus on "winning the House back" and "rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse."
- Miller claimed the allegations are "destructive" and lack evidence, having released documents to defend himself; President Trump previously raised concerns but Miller remains in the race.
