Multiple Republican lawmakers are calling for Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) to resign from the House of Representatives following allegations of domestic abuse made by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno. Moreno, the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), has accused Miller of abusing her and their daughter.

The allegations, detailed in a recent investigation, include claims that Miller held a gun to Moreno's head, threw hot water on her, and potentially broke their daughter's collarbone. Text messages also suggest Miller withheld his daughter's stuffed animal on multiple occasions. Miller was previously accused of abuse by former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham.

Miller has denied the accusations. The House Ethics Committee has opened an investigation into the matter at his request.

Sen. Bernie Moreno stated, "He is a danger to my daughter, and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter. If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them. He should not serve in the House of Representatives."

Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) echoed the sentiment, saying, "Any member of Congress who’s involved in domestic abuse should resign. That’s why I am glad that the House opened up an ethics investigation. They will get to the bottom of whether those allegations are true, and if they’re true, then he should step down."

Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) called Miller "a degenerate sociopath" and urged him to step aside. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia and Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas have also indicated that Miller should resign, with Marshall stating he trusts Sen. Moreno's account.

Former President Donald Trump reportedly advised Miller to step down in a private conversation, noting that "things aren't looking good." Publicly, Trump has stated he will not get involved in the situation.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has stated that the process needs to play out, saying, "we have to allow this process to play out. It’s just begun."

Miller is currently seeking reelection and has indicated he will remain in the race. He has until Monday to withdraw, which would allow Republicans to replace him on the ballot.
