House Democrats' political action committee (PAC) has committed an additional $6 million to boost their advertising efforts in Cleveland, Ohio, following Republican Rep. Max Miller's decision to continue his reelection campaign amidst allegations of abuse by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno. This increase brings House Majority PAC's total campaign advertising in the Cleveland area to approximately $7 million, as announced in an email to The Associated Press.
The decision to stay in the race has also prompted the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to prioritize Democratic challenger Brian Poindexter on their list of campaign targets.
The House Ethics Committee has launched an investigation into domestic abuse allegations against Miller. Following a recent conversation with former President Donald Trump, Miller has maintained his stance that he intends to stay in the race, despite the mounting pressure and criticism. Miller, who faces a November 2024 election against Poindexter, has denied the abuse allegations and has pledged to contribute $1 million of his own funds to his campaign.
The National Republican Congressional Committee, the Republican House campaign arm, has pledged its support for Miller's reelection bid.
