Trump Team Urges Ohio Republicans to Stop Pressuring Max Miller

Outlets report that Trump or White House officials urged Ohio Republicans to stop pressuring Rep. Max Miller to leave his reelection race. Miller faces abuse allegations, which he denies.

Left-leaning outlets emphasize the allegations and portray the intervention as keeping Miller in the race despite potential electoral costs. Center outlets pair the reported intervention with the allegations, Miller’s denial and an ethics inquiry, while noting concerns about the race’s cost. Right-leaning outlets focus on the attributed account of efforts to reduce pressure and Miller remaining on the ballot after the replacement deadline passed.
