Ohio Rep. Max Miller’s District Moves From Likely Republican to Toss-Up

- The Cook Political Report shifted Representative Max Miller's seat from "likely Republican" to "toss up" on Tuesday, citing increasing pressure from domestic abuse allegations leveled by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno.
- Allegations of physical abuse, including throwing hot water, holding a gun to his wife's head, and fracturing their two-year-old daughter's collarbone, prompted a House Ethics Committee investigation into Miller.
- Democratic challenger Brian Poindexter holds a 14-point lead over Miller, according to recent polling, though Miller told CNN's Jake Tapper last week he remains confident in his prospects.
- Miller refused to drop out past the Monday deadline for Ohio Republicans to nominate a new candidate, citing continued backing from Speaker Mike Johnson.
- Past campaigns for figures like Graham Platner and Rep. Chuck Edwards suffered from similar abuse allegations, which The Cook Political Report noted often sink competitive bids.
