The deadline for Republicans to replace Miller on the Ohio ballot passed, leaving him in the race for the state’s 7th Congressional District. The article reports that Miller faced calls from Ohio’s senators to drop out amid allegations from his ex-wife and at least two other women. Miller has said he is confident he can win and is prepared to put more of his own money into the campaign.
