GOP Rep. Max Miller loses re-election in Ohio following abuse allegations from his ex-wife
The Democrat and union ironworker flipped the district after domestic violence allegations and millions in outside spending reshaped the race, NBC News projects.
- On November 3, Democrat Brian Poindexter defeated incumbent Republican Rep. Max Miller in Ohio's 7th Congressional District, flipping a seat President Donald Trump would have won by 11 points in 2024.
- Miller's reelection bid faltered after allegations of domestic violence surfaced during his contentious divorce, including claims from ex-wife Emily Moreno and former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, though Miller has vehemently denied all wrongdoing.
- Poindexter, an ironworker and Brook Park City Council member, amplified the abuse allegations in campaign ads as national Democrats invested heavily in the competitive race.
- Moreno's spokesperson Stefan Mychajliw called Miller's denial video "unhinged and humiliating," while Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno stated Miller is unfit for office due to custody concerns.
- Poindexter will serve a two-year term beginning in January 2027, marking the first Democrat to represent the district, which extends south of Cleveland, in decades.
