List of Republicans Asking Max Miller to Exit House Race Amid Abuse Claims

Pressure is mounting on Max Miller as a growing number of Republicans call on the Ohio congressman to step aside.

Pressure is growing on Republican Max Miller as multiple GOP members urge the Ohio congressman to exit his House race following domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife, Emily Moreno. Jon Husted, Ohio Senator and junior Republican, has recently recommended Miller resign and withdraw from his reelection campaign, emphasizing the need to prioritize his family's well-being.

Miller has consistently denied the allegations, describing them as false and politically motivated, and has welcomed an investigation by the House Ethics Committee. Local authorities have also reviewed the claims but have not filed any criminal charges against Miller regarding Moreno's accusations. Despite mounting calls for resignation or a suspension of his campaign, Miller insists on continuing his congressional bid.
