Max Miller Remains on Ohio Ballot Despite Abuse Allegations

Max Miller will remain on the November ballot for Ohio's 7th Congressional District after the Monday deadline to withdraw passed. The U.S. Representative is seeking reelection while facing allegations of abuse against his ex-wife, their child, and former girlfriends, all of which he denies.

The controversy has triggered a House ethics investigation and drawn criticism from within the Republican Party. This includes Senator Bernie Moreno, Miller's former father-in-law, who previously stated that Miller should not serve in Congress.

While Donald Trump won the district by approximately 10 percentage points in 2024, current polling suggests a shift in momentum. A recent co/efficient poll shows Miller trailing Democratic challenger Brian Poindexter 47% to 33% among likely voters. A Democratic victory in this seat would represent a significant pickup in the ongoing fight for control of the House.
