"I have the utmost confidence that my constituents back home know me," the embattled congressman adds The post Max Miller Says Refusal to Drop Out of Ohio Election Over Abuse Allegations Reminds Trump of His Own ‘Resilience’ appeared first on TheWrap .

Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) recounted a private conversation with President Donald Trump, who reportedly compared Miller's re-election bid amid abuse allegations to his own 2016 campaign challenges. On CNN's "The Lead With Jake Tapper," Miller discussed the allegations made by his ex-wife Emily Moreno, who claimed abuse by Miller and their daughter.

Trump reportedly expressed concerns about Miller's ability to win the race, yet Miller maintained that Trump remained supportive, drawing parallels to Trump's own resilience during his 2016 election struggles. Miller defended his decision to stay in the race, emphasizing his strong support from constituents and his confidence in victory due to his family's reputation.

The controversy intensified after Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), Emily's father, called for Max Miller's resignation, citing concerns for the safety of the family, particularly his granddaughter, and questioning Miller's mental health. Miller, however, denied the allegations and pledged to conduct an ethics investigation into himself for transparency.
