Domestic abuse allegations from Rep. Max Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, have driven sustained Republican pressure for his withdrawal from the Ohio 7th District race, including public calls from Sen. Bernie Moreno and other GOP senators, while President Trump has declined to intervene. Miller has repeatedly denied the claims, rejected replacement requests, loaned his campaign $1 million, and advanced unopposed through the May primary. Key Ohio deadlines allowing party leaders to substitute a nominee passed in early August without his exit, locking him onto the November general election ballot against Democrat Brian Poindexter. The race has tightened into a toss-up in recent polling, shifting from its prior Republican lean. Ongoing House Ethics Committee review and any new developments could still influence his decision before ballots finalize, though trader consensus currently assigns low implied probability to withdrawal by late 2026 dates.
