Max Miller Stays in House Race as Ethics Panel Reviews Abuse Claims, Child Photo Release

Summary
Max Miller said he will remain in his reelection race despite mounting calls to quit, insisting on CNN that he can still win even after Donald Trump warned him it would be a tough contest.
The House Ethics Committee said Tuesday it is reviewing allegations that the Ohio Republican may have engaged in domestic violence, abuse or illegal drug use; Miller denied the abuse claims and said his drug use was years ago.
A Dropbox link Miller shared with nearly 60,000 X followers while defending himself against his ex-wife's accusations included an unredacted nude image of his 2-year-old daughter and other family details.
Aaron Minc, Miller's attorney, apologized and said he missed sensitive pages in a 40-plus-page document; the post drew more than 204,000 views before the file was corrected Monday.
The standoff comes as Ohio ballot deadlines tighten: withdrawing by Tuesday would have triggered a special GOP primary, while replacing Miller after that leaves party leaders only a narrow window before August 10.
