A new restraining-order request by Max Miller’s ex-wife renewed abuse allegations against the Ohio representative, while the article reports that Republican members have not publicly called for him to resign. Miller denies the allegations, and several Ohio Republicans offered different responses when asked about his future.
Emily Moreno, Miller’s ex-wife and the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno, requested a restraining order after alleging that Miller grabbed one of her attorneys during a hearing. The article also recounts earlier abuse allegations, which Miller has denied. He has filed a defamation suit against Emily Moreno and has not indicated that he will leave the race for reelection.
The article describes a contrast between Republican responses to allegations against Miller and their earlier criticism of Graham Platner. Bernie Moreno said his priority was his daughter and granddaughter’s safety, then answered “I don’t know” when asked whether Miller should be replaced on the ticket. Jon Husted did not answer a similar question, Jim Jordan defended Miller, and Mike Johnson emphasized that the claims were allegations. Gov. Mike DeWine called them serious and troubling, while Rep. Nancy Mace said Miller should resign if the allegations are true.
