Republican Rep. Max Miller of Ohio is resisting pressure to exit his reelection campaign for Congress, even as anxiety over his electability is growing within his own party. Miller is facing a congressional ethics investigation related to domestic abuse allegations leveled against him by his ex-wife but is insisting he won’t withdraw. Miller’s determination to push ahead comes as a Monday deadline looms for replacing him on the November ballot should he change his mind. The second-term congressman’s actions in a parade of public appearances —  beginning with a livestream from his X account Sunday — are heightening concerns among Republicans that his reelection chances are vanishing.

The House Ethics Committee says it has opened an investigation into domestic abuse allegations made against Republican Rep. Max Miller. The embattled Ohio congressman is facing pressure from President Donald Trump and escalating criticism from his former father-in-law, Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno. Miller, a former adviser to Trump, is facing a deadline to decide whether to remain in the race for his Ohio congressional seat. Republicans are nervous that the allegations could cost them a seat as they try to hang on to their House majority. Before the Ethics Committee issued its statement Tuesday, Miller said he was requesting an investigation into the allegations by his ex-wife “to clear my name."
