WASHINGTON (AP) — Ohio Rep. Max Miller pledged to remain in his race for re-election in a live video on X Sunday, defending himself against allegations of abuse from his ex-wife before a Wednesday deadline to replace him on the ballot.

Democrats have seen a new opportunity in Miller’s northeast Ohio congressional seat as the Republican incumbent has faced mounting pressure over domestic abuse allegations in a bitter and drawn-out custody dispute with his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, who is the daughter of U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno.
