Sen. Jon Husted urged Rep. Max Miller to resign and leave his reelection race amid domestic-violence allegations. Miller denied the allegations and filed an ethics complaint against himself; House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would not call for Miller to step down.
Husted said Miller should resign and leave his race, arguing that a campaign would not benefit the people involved and that their daughter’s interests should come first. Miller has denied the allegations. He filed a congressional ethics complaint against himself, saying he wanted colleagues to investigate and clear his name.
Husted said the House Ethics Committee should investigate credible allegations and that any member found to have committed domestic violence should resign. Speaker Mike Johnson said he would not call for Miller to step down. If Miller leaves the race before Aug. 10, local party officials can replace him on the ballot; after that, there would be no Republican candidate in the race against Democrat Brian Poindexter.

14 OUTLETSCenter and right-leaning outlets report Husted urged Miller to resign and end his reelection campaign amid domestic-abuse allegations Miller denies. They also report a House Ethics Committee inquiry involving Miller. Left-leaning outlets focus on a separate account of Miller’s lawsuit against a daycare after his daughter was hospitalized with bruises. Center outlets pair Husted’s call with Miller’s denial and the ethics inquiry, sometimes noting other Republicans’ calls or Trump’s response. Right-leaning outlets include Husted’s argument that resignation would serve Miller’s daughter’s interests; townhall.com says his call was conditional on the allegations being true.
