Rep. Max Miller is facing renewed scrutiny over domestic-abuse allegations from his ex-wife, which he denies, as Ohio Republicans weigh his political future. Sen. Bernie Moreno called for Miller to resign, while local voters and analysts discussed the allegations’ possible effect on Miller’s reelection bid.
Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, has accused him of domestic abuse and other violence; Miller has denied the allegations. He blamed the left-wing media and his former wife for trying to damage his reputation, and said police were not investigating the claims. Sen. Bernie Moreno, Emily Moreno’s father, called for Miller to resign, saying he feared for his daughter and granddaughter’s safety.
The article reports concern among Republicans in Miller’s district and describes uncertainty about whether the state party might replace him before the election. Miller faces Democrat Brian Poindexter in November. Political scientist Justin Buchler said the allegations could weaken Miller and improve Poindexter’s chances, whether Miller stays in the race or withdraws without a strong replacement.
