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 withdraw. His Democratic challenger, Brian Poindexter, is seeking to capitalize on the controversy as the race draws increased attention.
Miller is continuing his reelection campaign amid scrutiny of abuse allegations made by his ex-wife and at least two other women. The article reports that Ohio’s ballot-replacement deadline passed Monday, and that Democratic groups are weighing whether to give the race more support. Miller has said he is confident he can win and is prepared to spend more of his own money on the campaign.
Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno and the state’s other senator called on Miller to leave the race, while President Donald Trump did not. Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters said the party would support its nominees but did not commit to campaign spending. Poindexter has campaigned on pocketbook issues and said he wants to represent working people.
