The deadline to replace Rep. Max Miller on Ohio’s general-election ballot passed, leaving him in the race despite calls from fellow Republicans to step aside over abuse allegations. His Democratic challenger, Brian Poindexter, is seeking to capitalize as party groups weigh spending on the contest.
The deadline for Republicans to replace Miller on the ballot passed, and the article describes the race as increasingly competitive. Miller has said he believes he can win; the article reports that he won 51% in a three-way contest two years ago and that the district leans Republican under current maps. Both of Ohio’s senators, including Bernie Moreno, called on Miller to drop out, while President Donald Trump did not. The article says Miller faces allegations from his ex-wife and at least two other women; Miller did not return messages seeking comment.
Poindexter has campaigned on pocketbook issues and received union endorsements. He criticized Miller for continuing the campaign and said he was running to support his neighbors and working people. Democratic groups were considering whether to prioritize the race, while Republican groups had not said whether they would spend on Miller’s behalf.
