Republican House member Max Miller of Ohio is holding firm against growing calls to end his reelection campaign. The pressure comes as a key deadline approaches.
Miller faces allegations that he held a gun to his ex-wife’s head and broke the collarbone of their young daughter. He has denied both accusations.
The congressman continues to resist demands from within his own party to step aside. His refusal signals a determination to remain in the race despite the controversy.
The claims against Miller first surfaced earlier this week. His ex-wife detailed the incidents, which she says occurred during their marriage.
Miller’s legal team has pushed back on the accounts. They describe the allegations as false and have questioned the timing of the statements.
The deadline looming over the race adds urgency to the situation. Candidates face a cutoff to withdraw without complicating the ballot process.
Party leaders have remained largely silent in public. But private conversations suggest growing concern over the political fallout.
Miller’s supporters point to his record in office. They argue the accusations should not overshadow his legislative work.
The congressman has not indicated any intention to step aside. His campaign continues to schedule events and fundraise as usual.
The primary race in his district remains active. Other Republican candidates are watching closely for any shift in Miller’s position.
As the deadline nears, the pressure on Miller is expected to intensify. His next steps will determine whether the controversy reshapes the contest.
