Rep. Max Miller will remain on Ohio's 7th District November ballot after a Monday withdrawal deadline passed. Abuse allegations, which Miller denies, and a poll showing him trailing Democrat Brian Poindexter have put the race in focus.
Miller will remain on the November ballot after the deadline to withdraw from the race passed. A poll from co/efficient in early August showed him trailing Poindexter 47% to 33% among likely voters; the article also notes that Donald Trump won the district by about 10 percentage points in 2024.
Miller has faced allegations of abusing his ex-wife, their child and former girlfriends, all of which he has denied. Sen. Bernie Moreno, Miller's former father-in-law, said Monday he had said all he would say about Miller and declined to say whether he would urge voters to write in another candidate or leave the race blank.
