Cory Mills lost Florida’s Republican primary after facing scrutiny and investigations, a result Newsweek presents as a warning for Ohio Representative Max Miller. Polling cited in the article also showed Miller trailing Democrat Brian Poindexter amid allegations against Miller.
Mills lost the Republican nomination to Ryan Elijah while facing investigations and allegations, which Mills denied. The article says President Donald Trump had endorsed Mills before later saying he had urged him to leave the race and endorsing Elijah.
Miller, who had already secured the Republican nomination in Ohio, faced domestic abuse allegations that he denied and a House Ethics Committee investigation. Newsweek cites polling showing Poindexter ahead of Miller and reports that the Cook Political Report shifted the district’s rating from “Likely Republican” to “Toss Up.”
