Ohio Republican Congressman Max Miller is facing allegations of domestic abuse involving his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and their infant child. The allegations have sparked concern among voters in his district regarding his behavior and political future ahead of the midterms.
A growing number of Republicans have called on Miller to resign from office and drop his reelection bid. Among those calling for his departure is Ohio GOP Sen. John Husted, who urged the congressman to abandon his campaign.
The House Ethics Committee has opened an investigation into the matter. This probe was initiated after Miller himself requested an investigation into the abuse allegations that have swirled around his bid for reelection.
Despite the pressure to step aside and the ongoing congressional ethics investigation, Miller insists he will not withdraw from the race. He recently attempted to defend himself against the allegations during an 18-minute statement.
