Sen. Jon Husted urged Rep. Max Miller to resign and abandon his reelection campaign amid a congressional ethics investigation tied to domestic abuse allegations, which Miller denies. Other Republicans also called for Miller to step aside, while President Donald Trump declined to weigh in.
Husted said Thursday that Miller should leave Congress and end his campaign, saying he did not see how a campaign would benefit Miller, his ex-wife or their daughter. Sen. Tim Sheehy also urged Miller to step aside and seek help, citing the risk of losing the seat. Miller has continued to say he will stay in the race and has vehemently denied the abuse allegations.
Sen. Bernie Moreno had called Miller unfit to serve but had not specifically urged him to resign or end his campaign. Ohio law required Miller to withdraw by Saturday for a replacement process to meet a Monday deadline. President Trump said he would not get involved.
