At the deadline, Ohio's Miller to stay in race despite allegations and party pressure

On Monday afternoon, Republican leaders on Capitol Hill confronted two similar problems...

Per The New York Times, as rendered: 'Mr. Trump stopped short of asking Mr. Miller to step aside'

Republican leaders pressed two scandal-hit incumbents — Ohio Rep. Max Miller (domestic violence allegations) and North Carolina Rep. Chuck Edwards (House Ethics harassment report); Edwards ended his candidacy, Miller did not.

Per the NYT, Trump called Miller to warn him the allegations made reelection tough but stopped short of asking him to step aside.

Ohio's ballot-replacement deadline was that day and Miller gave every indication he was staying.

Miller requested an Ethics Committee investigation the panel agreed to Tuesday.

Stephanie Grisham filed for a temporary restraining order against Miller this week alleging he violated a settlement.
