2026年3月18日在华盛顿特区峰会上的俄亥俄州共和党众议员马克斯·米勒。
尽管虐待指控撼动了他的竞选活动，并招致共和党同僚越来越多要求他退选的呼声，马克斯·米勒仍将继续参选连任。
米勒否认了其前妻提出的虐待指控，始终坚称会留在俄亥俄州第七国会选区的竞选当中。如今，共和党领导人替换其参选资格的截止日期已过，他在选票上的参选资格已经锁定。
米勒原本必须在周六晚间前退出竞选。共和党领导人替换其参选资格的截止日期为8月10日，但党内领导人召开会议挑选替代候选人需要提前两天通知。
米勒的发言人周日告诉CNN，他将继续参选。
这位代表俄亥俄州东部某选区的议员所面临的争议，可能会危及他拿下这个曾被认为是共和党稳拿席位的机会，也可能威胁到共和党在今年中期选举中保住众议院多数席位的前景。
据一位知情消息人士透露，CNN此前曾报道，党内官员曾极力推动米勒退选，认为他可能会危及共和党在该选区的选情。CNN也曾报道，在虐待指控和米勒前岳父、参议员伯尼·莫雷诺施压的背景下，唐纳德·特朗普的盟友也曾敦促总统鼓励米勒退出连任竞选。
莫雷诺对此发声越来越频繁，称他的俄亥俄州同乡“不应在国会任职”，并将米勒称为“对我女儿的威胁”。
该州的共和党籍联邦参议员小琼·赫斯特特也单独呼吁米勒退出竞选并辞去国会职务。
在上周接受CNN采访时，米勒表示他已与特朗普讨论了自己的参选立场。
米勒称，特朗普告诉他这场竞选会“很艰难”，似乎对他的胜选机会表示怀疑。
但米勒在采访中仍态度强硬，表示会继续参选并洗清自己的罪名。
艾米莉·莫雷诺指控米勒在去年结束的婚姻期间虐待她和她的女儿。近几周来，这对夫妇的离婚和子女监护权纠纷日益公开化，尤其是在上周米勒发布一场激烈的直播为自己辩护、反驳前妻的指控之后。
直播结束后，米勒在社交媒体上发布了一个包含他与莫雷诺之间数百条短信、图片和视频的文件链接，称这些内容能证明他没有虐待妻子和女儿的指控。
但米勒的一名律师承认，这些文件无意间包含了米勒家庭的敏感细节，这一信息发布本身也引发了争议。
米勒将于11月3日对阵民主党候选人、钢铁工人布莱恩·波因德克斯特。

Rep. Max Miller, accused of abuse, will remain in reelection race as withdrawal deadline passes

Rep. Max Miller will remain in his race for reelection, despite abuse allegations that have rocked his campaign and prompted growing calls from fellow Republicans for him to drop out.
Miller, who has denied the allegations of abuse from his ex-wife, has consistently maintained that he would remain in the race for Ohio’s 7th District. But now that the deadline for party leaders to replace him on the ballot has passed, his position on the ticket is locked in.
Miller would have had to drop out by Saturday evening. The deadline for Republican leaders to replace him on the ballot is August 10, but two days’ notice is required before party leaders would hold a meeting to pick the candidate.
Miller’s spokesperson told CNN on Sunday that he is remaining in the race.
The controversies surrounding Miller, who represents a district in eastern Ohio, threaten to jeopardize his chances of winning what was once thought to be a safe GOP seat, and could imperil Republicans’ chances of maintaining control of the House in this year’s midterms.
CNN previously reported that party officials led an intense push to get him out of the race, believing he could imperil the GOP’s chances in the district, according to a source familiar with the matter. Allies of Donald Trump also pushed the president to encourage Miller to drop his reelection bid, CNN has reported, amid the abuse claims and pressure from Miller’s former father-in-law, Sen. Bernie Moreno.
Moreno has been increasingly vocal about the issue, saying his fellow Ohioan “should not serve” in Congress and calling him “a danger to my daughter.”
The state’s junior Republican senator, Jon Husted, separately called for Miller to abandon his race and to resign from Congress.
In an interview on CNN last week, Miller said he had spoken with Trump about his position in the race.
Trump, Miller said, told him the race would be “tough” and seemed to express doubt about his chances to win.
But Miller remained defiant in the interview that he would remain in the race and clear his name.
Emily Moreno accused Miller of abusing both her and her daughter throughout their marriage, which ended last year. The couple’s divorce and child custody dispute have become increasingly public in recent weeks, especially in the light of a combative livestream from Miller last week in which he sought to defend against his ex-wife’s claims.
After the livestream, Miller posted on social media a link to a file containing hundreds of messages, pictures and videos exchanged between him and Moreno that he said would exonerate him from claims of mistreating his wife and daughter.
But the release of that information generated its own controversy after an attorney for Miller conceded the files inadvertently had contained sensitive details about Miller’s family.
Miller is set to face Democrat Brian Poindexter, an ironworker, on November 3.
