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. His Democratic challenger, Brian Poindexter, is seeking to capitalize on the controversy as the race draws more attention.
Republicans’ last chance to replace Miller on the Ohio ballot passed Monday. Miller said he was confident he could win and prepared to invest more of his own money in his campaign. The article reports that his ex-wife and at least two other women have made previous abuse allegations against him; Miller did not respond to requests for comment.
Ohio’s two senators, including Bernie Moreno, called on Miller to drop out, while President Donald Trump did not. Poindexter, the Democratic nominee, has campaigned on pocketbook issues and sought support from voters across the political spectrum. The article says the race is increasingly viewed as competitive and that Democratic groups were considering whether to spend more on it.
