Republican Senators Press Max Miller Over Abuse Claims as 1 GOP Senator Says He Should Quit

3 articles · Updated · POLITICO · Aug 3

Summary

  • Lisa Murkowski said lawmakers must meet high standards and that, if the allegations are true, Max Miller should not remain in office; another Republican senator also said he should quit.
  • The pressure centers on accusations of domestic and child abuse, which Miller has denied, saying on X that the claims are false and politically timed.
  • Jon Husted, Ohio’s other senator, did not answer questions Monday about whether Miller should resign, and most Ohio House Republicans either declined comment or stayed silent.
  • Jim Jordan stood apart, calling Miller “a good man” last week and later saying his future in Congress should be decided by voters in Ohio’s 7th District.
