Trump shrugs off growing pressure to intervene in Miller scandal

Semafor · back to the audit

President Donald Trump is -- for the moment -- spurning pressure from his allies to intervene in Rep. Max Miller's race as the party races against a Wednesday deadline for the embattled Ohio Republican to drop out.
Trump is staying out of the controversy over domestic abuse allegations against Miller, who served in Trump's first-term White House. The president told reporters on Monday that it's "a very sad thing," describing Miller as "a very good person" and saying he plans to "let the families figure that out."
But Trump and some White House aides are said to privately want Miller out of the race, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Miller "clearly only cares about himself," a second person close to the White House said. "He's down by 6 in the latest poll. If he cared about the president and the party, he'd drop out."
