Representative Max Miller faces mounting pressure to resign over domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife.
Representative Max Miller is facing increased scrutiny and calls for resignation following a series of domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife, Emily Moreno. While Miller has denied the allegations, the dispute has created a potential opening for his Democratic opponent, Brian Poindexter, in a Republican-leaning district. Democrats have requested a congressional ethics investigation, while Republicans have largely remained in Miller's corner, noting his strong performance for the district. Republican Governor Mike DeWine stated that while the accusations are serious, the fate of the district should be left to the voters. Miller has filed defamation lawsuits against Moreno and other accusers, including former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham. Despite the allegations, Miller remains in a strong position to win the district, provided he can maintain the support of conservative-leaning voters. The House Majority PAC is monitoring the race as part of a strategy to push for a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives.
