      Ohio GOP Rep. Max Miller said Sunday he will stay in his reelection race, using a livestream on X to deny allegations he abused his ex-wife and their young daughter.

Why it matters: The extraordinary public split between two Trump -aligned Ohio Republicans comes days before the state's deadline to replace Miller on the ballot with a special...

What they're saying: When asked about his plans on Tuesday by CNN's Jake Tapper, Miller said he wouldn't withdraw, and...
