Summary
Max Miller appeared to let a crucial Saturday withdrawal cutoff pass in Ohio's 7th Congressional District, effectively closing Republicans' last practical window to replace the embattled incumbent on the November ballot. A district that favors Republicans has suddenly become a potential Democratic pickup as the GOP fights to preserve its narrow House majority, and Ohio law gave party leaders no room to replace Miller without his cooperation. Miller's campaign spokesperson Abigail Angelos told The New York Times on Saturday that the two-term Republican would stay in the race despite domestic-abuse allegations he denies. Miller did not return Axios' Saturday evening request for comment. Miller would have needed to formally withdraw from the race Saturday to provide enough time for a required two-day notice before a GOP committee meeting to certify a replacement by Monday at 4pm ET.
