Republican lawmakers are urging Ohio Representative Max Miller to resign and end his reelection bid after his ex-wife made abuse allegations. Miller denies the claims; the House Ethics Committee has not announced a formal investigation, and no related criminal charges have been filed.
A growing number of Republicans have called on Miller to leave Congress or step aside from his campaign after his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, accused him of domestic violence, child abuse and other misconduct. Miller denies the allegations, calls them false and politically motivated, and says he welcomes an independent review. The House Ethics Committee has not announced a formal investigation, and local authorities have reviewed aspects of the claims; no related criminal charges had been filed as of Thursday.
Ohio Senator Jon Husted and several other Republican lawmakers publicly urged Miller to resign or withdraw, while some called for an investigation or said the matter should proceed through appropriate processes. President Donald Trump said he would not get involved, and House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune did not call for Miller to step aside. Ohio's earlier, simpler deadline for replacing Miller on the ballot passed on August 5; a later withdrawal deadline is August 10.
