Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine 'Troubled' by Max Miller Abuse Allegations, Says It's up to Voters
Mace said the allegations against Miller should be investigated and called for resignation if they are proven true.
Representative Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, called on Wednesday for a House Ethics Committee investigation into Representative Max Miller, an Ohio Republican, over domestic abuse allegations, calling them "horrific."
Miller faces increased scrutiny after allegations from ex-wife Emily Moreno, who accused him of physical and emotional abuse, including throwing hot water and holding a gun to her head.
The Democratic Women's Caucus and Representative Sam Liccardo, a California Democrat, formally requested a House Ethics Committee probe this week, while gun violence prevention group Giffords urged Miller to resign.
Miller has denied all allegations, describing accusations as false, while Ohio Governor Mike DeWine expressed concern about the "troubling" claims but stated voters should decide Miller's congressional future.
The District 7 race remains highly competitive, with a recent GBAO poll showing Miller leading challenger Brian Poindexter 44 percent to 43 percent, and prediction markets giving Poindexter a 58 percent chance of flipping the seat.
