Max Miller: Potential Candidates Who Could Replace Republican in Ohio Race
Several Republican figures are being discussed as possible replacements for Representative Max Miller in Ohio's 7th Congressional District, as the embattled congressman faces pressure over abuse allegations that he denies.
Miller has until Wednesday to withdraw from the ballot, which would allow Republicans to hold a rapid replacement primary for his Cleveland-area House seat.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump warned Miller in a Monday phone call that his reelection bid would be difficult, and repeatedly told him the contest would be 'tough' and 'a really hard one.'
Trump has also commented on the situation. The president told reporters "I know Max, he's a good person...and I'm going to let the families figure that out."
According to people familiar with the matter cited by the Journal, Miller asked Trump to make a public statement supporting him, though Miller said Trump was "supportive of me over the phone."
Renacci said: "I truly don't believe Max is leaving, I think Max is going to stay in the race."
