Ohio’s deadline for replacing Max Miller on the November ballot passed, leaving him as the Republican nominee for the 7th District. The article reports that he remains in the race despite pressure to step aside over abuse allegations he denies.
Ohio Republicans could have replaced Miller only if he withdrew by Saturday evening, ahead of a Monday certification deadline. With the withdrawal window closed, the article says there is no apparent path to replace him through a voluntary withdrawal. Miller has denied his ex-wife’s abuse allegations and said no court or agency substantiated them; he has also sued her for defamation.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, Miller’s former father-in-law, publicly called on him to resign from Congress after Miller posted a livestream denying the allegations. Miller is poised to face Democrat Brian Poindexter in November. The article says the district has generally favored Republicans and that President Donald Trump carried it by roughly 11 points in 2024.
