Rep. Max Miller remains the Republican nominee for Ohio’s 7th Congressional District after passing multiple early-August 2026 deadlines that would have allowed party leaders to replace him on the November ballot. Public allegations of domestic abuse from his ex-wife, the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno, emerged after his unopposed May primary and triggered pressure from GOP officials, both Ohio senators, and some Trump allies for withdrawal, though Miller has denied the claims, pursued defamation litigation, and loaned his campaign additional funds. Recent polling shows the once-safe Republican seat now a toss-up or tilting toward Democrat Brian Poindexter, an ironworker, with the race affected by lost union support and increased Democratic spending. The House Ethics Committee has opened a review, while the general election on November 3 proceeds under new district lines.
