Rep. Max Miller will remain the Republican nominee in Ohio’s 7th Congressional District after the deadline to replace him on the November ballot passed. The window for the GOP to submit a new candidate closed, effectively ending any attempt to remove Miller from the race despite allegations of domestic abuse made by his ex-wife.
The decision comes as Republicans face increasing scrutiny regarding their handling of the situation in a district that typically favors their party. Axios reports this has unexpectedly turned the 7th District into a potentially competitive race. No right-leaning outlets reported on the potential shift in competitiveness, focusing instead on the passing of the ballot deadline.
Fox News noted there is now no path to replace Miller following the deadline, while CNBC simply stated he will remain on the ballot. The sources do not detail any internal debate within the Republican party regarding whether or not to pursue replacing Miller, nor do they provide insight into how the allegations might impact voter turnout or campaign strategy.
The lack of a replacement candidate leaves Republicans with an embattled incumbent facing scrutiny as the election approaches.
