**Max Miller remains the Republican nominee for Ohio’s 7th Congressional District after key early-August 2026 withdrawal deadlines passed without his exit.** Domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife, Sen. Bernie Moreno’s daughter, prompted pressure from both Ohio senators and some party figures concerned about the seat’s competitiveness in a district Trump carried by double digits in 2024. Miller has consistently denied the claims, loaned his campaign $1 million, and rejected calls to step aside, while the House Ethics Committee opened a review. Recent polls show the race tightening or tilting toward Democrat Brian Poindexter, a union ironworker. With ballots now effectively locked and Miller signaling continued resolve, trader sentiment reflects low implied probability of voluntary withdrawal by late-September dates absent new developments.
