俄亥俄州共和党人替换众议员马克斯·米勒参加11月选举的截止日期现已过去，这实际上让这位陷入困境的国会众议员锁定了俄亥俄州第七国会选区的共和党提名资格。
米勒一直拒绝结束其连任竞选，他本需要在周六晚间前退选，以便共和党官员有足够时间选出替代人选，并完成俄亥俄州选举规则中周一下午4点认证截止日期所需的各项流程。
然而，尽管其前妻、共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺之女艾米丽·莫雷诺提出了家暴指控，共和党同僚不断施压要求其让位，米勒仍将继续参选。

正如福克斯新闻数字频道此前报道的那样，上周莫雷诺参议员公开呼吁其前女婿辞去国会职务，这场持续多年的家庭纠纷和激烈离婚案被推向全国政治聚光灯下，争议也随之升级。
莫雷诺此前一直避免公开介入这场纠纷，但在米勒发布直播否认家暴和虐待儿童的指控后，他打破了沉默。莫雷诺指责米勒愈发“行为古怪且危险”，并称他不应在众议院任职。
米勒否认了相关指控，称没有任何法院或机构证实他存在虐待行为，且他从未因这场纠纷受到刑事指控。他还就前妻的言论起诉其诽谤。

随着退选窗口关闭，共和党人似乎已无法通过自愿退选的方式在选票上替换米勒。
此次争议爆发之际，共和党正努力捍卫其在众议院的微弱多数席位。米勒所代表的选区总体上倾向共和党，2024年总统唐纳德·特朗普在该选区的得票率领先约11个百分点。

米勒现在将在11月与民主党人、工会钢铁工人布莱恩·波因德克斯特展开角逐，这为民主党提供了争夺一个原本预计将由共和党掌控的倾向共和党的席位的机会。

The deadline for Ohio Republicans to replace Rep. Max Miller on the November ballot has now passed, effectively locking in the embattled congressman as the GOP nominee in Ohio’s 7th Congressional District.
Miller, who has resisted calls to end his re-election campaign, would have needed to withdraw by Saturday evening to give Republican officials enough time to select a replacement and complete the steps needed to meet Monday’s 4 p.m. certification deadline under Ohio election rules.
Instead, Miller is staying in the race despite mounting pressure from fellow Republicans to step aside over domestic-abuse allegations made by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, the daughter of Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno.

As Fox News Digital previously reported, the controversy escalated last week when Sen. Moreno publicly called on his former son-in-law to resign from Congress, bringing a years-long family dispute and contentious divorce into the national political spotlight.
Moreno had previously avoided publicly weighing in on the dispute, but broke his silence after Miller posted a livestream denying allegations of domestic and child abuse. Moreno accused Miller of increasingly “erratic and dangerous behavior” and said he should not serve in the House of Representatives.
Miller has denied the allegations, saying no court or agency has substantiated claims that he committed abuse and that he has never been criminally charged in connection with the dispute. He has also sued his ex-wife for defamation.

With the withdrawal window now closed, Republicans have no apparent path to replace Miller on the ballot through a voluntary withdrawal.
The controversy comes as Republicans fight to protect their narrow House majority. Miller represents a district that has generally favored the GOP, with President Donald Trump carrying it by roughly 11 points in 2024.

Miller is now poised to face Democrat Brian Poindexter, a union ironworker, in November, giving Democrats an opportunity to compete for a Republican-leaning seat that otherwise would have been expected to remain in GOP hands.
