Republican senators Bernie Moreno and Roger Marshall urged Rep. Max Miller to resign amid abuse allegations and a controversy over documents he published. Miller says he will stay in the race, where a Republican-commissioned poll found him trailing Democrat Brian Poindexter.
Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno said Max Miller should not serve in the House and urged him to seek professional help; Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall said Miller should resign. Miller has denied his former wife’s domestic-abuse allegations. He said a document folder he published to defend himself was removed after it inadvertently included a nude photograph of his young daughter, and he blamed the mistake on his attorney.
Miller said President Donald Trump privately warned him that reelection would be difficult, while Trump later publicly called him a good person and said the families should resolve the matter. A Republican-commissioned poll reported by NOTUS found Miller trailing Democratic challenger Brian Poindexter by five points, with many voters undecided; Miller said he would not withdraw. The article also says an ethics investigation is continuing.
