Sen. Jon Husted urged Rep. Max Miller to resign and drop his reelection campaign amid a congressional ethics investigation related to domestic abuse allegations, which Miller denies. Other Republicans also called for Miller to step aside as a deadline for withdrawing approached.
Husted said in a post on X that Miller should resign and leave the race, saying he should focus on what is best for his daughter. Sen. Tim Sheehy also urged Miller to step aside, while Sen. Bernie Moreno had called Miller unfit to serve but did not specifically demand his resignation. Miller has continued to say he will stay in the race and has denied the allegations against him.
Miller faces Democrat Brian Poindexter in Ohio’s 7th Congressional District. Under Ohio law, Miller would need to withdraw by Saturday to allow time for the replacement process before a Monday deadline. President Donald Trump said he would not get involved in whether Miller should resign or withdraw.
