Rep. Max Miller, accused of abuse, will remain in reelection race as withdrawal deadline passes
Rep. Max Miller, accused of abuse, will remain in reelection race as withdrawal deadline passes
Rep. Max Miller will remain in his race for reelection, despite abuse allegations that have rocked his campaign and prompted growing calls from fellow Republicans for him to drop out.
Miller, who has denied the allegations of abuse from his ex-wife, has consistently maintained that he would remain in the race for Ohio's 7th District. But now that the deadline for party leaders to replace him on the ballot has passed, his position on the ticket is locked in.
Miller would have had to drop out by Saturday evening. The deadline for Republican leaders to replace him on the ballot is August 10, but two days' notice is required before party leaders would hold a meeting to pick the candidate.
Miller's spokesperson told CNN on Sunday that he is remaining in the race.
The controversies surrounding Miller, who represents a district in eastern Ohio, threaten to jeopardize his chances of winning what was once thought to be a safe GOP seat, and could imperil Republicans' chances of maintaining control of the House in this year's midterms.
In an interview on CNN last week, Miller said he had spoken with Trump about his position in the race. Trump, Miller said, told him the race would be "tough" and seemed to express doubt about his chances to win.
Miller is set to face Democrat Brian Poindexter, an ironworker, on November 3.
