Miller, a former Trump White House aide, is fighting to survive amid domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife.<\/p>\n

Miller has until Wednesday to withdraw from a House race that could help decide majority control, according to the Ohio Secretary of State’s office.<\/p>\n

Trump told Miller “things aren’t looking good” and repeatedly warned that re-election would be tough, three sources told Axios.<\/p>\n

“He said he had a poll with no detail, and I pushed back with our poll that has us winning by 9 with our message out there,” Miller told the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

“He kept on reiterating it’s going to be tough, and it’s going to be a really hard one for you,” Miller said, referring to Trump.<\/p>\n

Miller nonetheless claimed Trump “was supportive of me over the phone.” Publicly, Trump sidestepped when reporters pressed him Monday in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

“I know Max, he’s a good person. \u2026 And I’m going to let the families figure that out,” Trump said, calling the abuse allegations “accusations.”<\/p>\n

The allegations driving the crisis came from Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno \u2014 the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH). Police reports obtained by ABC News showed she told officers Miller threw hot water on her, held a gun to her head, and threw her against a wall.<\/p>\n

Their toddler daughter’s broken collarbone was also investigated by police in February 2026, according to police reports.<\/p>\n

Miller denied the allegations, filed a defamation suit against his ex-wife in May, and was never charged.<\/p>\n

Sen. Bernie Moreno, Miller’s former father-in-law, wrote on X after the livestream that Miller “should not serve in the House” and called him “a danger to my daughter.”<\/p>\n

By Monday, more Senate Republicans had joined the call to push Miller out, Politico reported.<\/p>\n

“He should resign. He should quit,” said Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS).<\/p>\n

“You shouldn’t be in office, and everyone should be held accountable,” added Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL).<\/p>\n

The seat Miller is fighting to hold could help tip House control \u2014 Democrats need just three net gains for a majority, Republicans no more than two, according to Ballotpedia.<\/p>\n

Trump carried the district by 11 points in 2024. Miller won his last race with just 51%.<\/p>\n

It was Trump who first put Miller in Congress, encouraging him to challenge Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH) after Gonzalez voted to impeach Trump for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, the Wall Street Journal reported.<\/p>\n
