The deadline to replace Rep. Max Miller on Ohio’s general-election ballot passed while he continued his campaign amid domestic abuse allegations. His decision leaves Republicans defending a race that Democrats are watching as potentially competitive.
Miller is staying in the race despite calls from Ohio’s two senators for him to withdraw. The article says Republicans had not planned to focus on defending the seat, while Democratic groups were considering whether to make the race a midterm spending priority. Miller said he was confident he could win and was prepared to put more of his own money into his campaign.
The race has drawn attention amid scrutiny of abuse allegations from Miller’s ex-wife and at least two other women. Democratic challenger Brian Poindexter has sought to attract voters across the political spectrum, campaigning on pocketbook issues and criticizing Miller’s decision to keep running. President Donald Trump praised Miller and said the legal dispute should be left to the families.
