Rep. Max Miller remained defiant Tuesday, saying he will stay in his reelection race as he faces allegations of abuse and scrutiny over his attorney’s accidental release of a “sensitive” image of the Ohio Republican’s child.
“I’m going to continue to push. I am going to win this race,” Miller, who has denied his ex-wife’s allegations against him, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead.”
The interview came as Miller is facing pressure — including from his former father-in-law, GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno — to drop his reelection bid. CNN reported Monday that allies of Donald Trump have been pushing the president to encourage Miller to drop out.
Miller told CNN that Trump called him Monday and said, “Maxie, it’s going to be a tough race.”
Trump, Miller said, added: “I don’t know if you’re going to be able to, you know, pull this one out.”
