Miller Stays in Race Amid Abuse Allegations | Cleveland News

Congressman Max Miller is doubling down and staying in the race for Ohio’s congressional seat despite mounting pressure from GOP leaders and domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife. With the deadline to replace him on the ballot now passed, Republicans face an unexpected uphill battle in a district they thought was a lock. Miller, 37, insists he can still win, citing his record and grassroots support, while former President Trump has publicly endorsed him as a “good person,” though warning the race will be tough. Meanwhile, Democratic groups are weighing increased support for challenger Brian Poindexter, a union ironworker running on “honor” and capitalizing on the controversy. The RNC says it will back its nominee, but it’s unclear if they’ll pour resources into Miller’s campaign — he’s ready to fund it himself. Once a GOP stronghold, the district now feels more competitive as national attention intensifies over Miller’s past and his strategy to weather the storm.
