Domestic violence allegations against incumbent Republican Max Miller from his ex-wife have sharply eroded his standing in Ohio’s 7th congressional district, prompting calls from fellow Republicans—including former father-in-law Sen. Bernie Moreno—to withdraw. Multiple nonpartisan forecasters have shifted the race from Solid or Likely Republican to Toss-up following polls showing Democrat Brian Poindexter, a union ironworker, in a statistical tie or narrow lead. Poindexter has benefited from increased Democratic support, including addition to the DCCC’s Red to Blue program, and messaging focused on his blue-collar background. Miller has denied the claims, countered with attacks on Poindexter’s record, and maintained party backing, but trader consensus reflects the scandal’s sustained impact on his reelection prospects ahead of the November 3 general election.
