# Max Miller stays in Ohio race as abuse allegations unsettle Republicans 2026-08-11T01:04:13+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Republican Congressman Max Miller will remain on the ballot for Ohio's 7th Congressional District despite domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife, India Today reports. Monday was the last day for Republicans to replace him. His decision turns a safe Republican seat into a closely watched and potentially costly contest for the party during midterm elections. Democratic challenger Brian Poindexter, a city councillor, has seized on the controversy, promising to 'serve with honour'. Both Ohio senators, including Miller's former father-in-law Bernie Moreno, urged him to quit, but Donald Trump did not. The former president called Miller 'a good person'. Democratic groups are now weighing whether to pour money into the race, while Republican committees have not committed to spending on Miller's behalf. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
