Max Miller remains on Ohio ballot as candidate withdrawal deadline passes

Miller will continue his reelection bid for Ohio's 7th District after the deadline for party leaders to replace him expired on Sunday. This development follows calls for his resignation from Republican senators like Jim Banks. Banks and others cited allegations of physical abuse against Miller's former wife and daughter as grounds for his withdrawal. Republican leaders faced a nearing candidate deadline to address the controversy before the general election. While Banks suggested Miller should withdraw if the accusations are proven true, Miller has not stepped down. The allegations are deeply troubling to some party members, yet Miller remains the official Republican nominee.
