Rep. Max Miller will remain on Ohio’s general-election ballot after the deadline to replace him passed, despite calls from fellow Republicans to leave the race amid domestic abuse allegations. The decision could make his reelection contest more competitive.
Miller is staying in the race as he faces allegations from his ex-wife and at least two other women. The article says Ohio Republicans’ final opportunity to replace him on the ballot passed Monday, and describes the district as increasingly competitive. Miller said he was confident he could win and was prepared to put more of his own money into the campaign; he did not return messages seeking comment.
Ohio’s two senators, including Bernie Moreno, urged Miller to drop out, while President Donald Trump called Miller a good person and said the legal dispute should be left to the families. Democrat Brian Poindexter sought to draw support across the political spectrum, campaigning on pocketbook issues and saying he entered the race to fight for his neighbors and working people. Party groups had not decided whether to spend on Miller’s behalf or make the race a midterm spending priority.
