The chairman of the Republican National Committee skirted around the alarming abuse allegations against Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) while appearing to confirm the GOP’s congressional committee does intend to fund his reelection campaign.On News Nation’s “The Hill Sunday,” Florida state Sen. Joe Gruter whitewashed scandal around Miller with a vague platitude about divorce, saying, “I always tell people that there’s not many things worse than divorce and watch these processes play out. Nobody’s a winner.”Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, has accused him on a long-term pattern of physical and emotional abuse toward both her and their 2-year-old daughter, including claims he held a gun to her head, broke their toddler’s collarbone and would regularly hold her favorite toy hostage as a manipulation tactic.Though Gruter coldly said he hoped Miller and Moreno “get the desired outcome they want,” he told NewsNation that politics were his priority.“We’re gonna support our nominees,” the GOP official said. “We need to make sure we hold the majorities. Max, I’m sure, is on that side.”NEWSNATION: Is the RNC planning to back Max Miller's campaign with resources?GRUTERS: Listen, there's not many things worse than divorce. I hope Max and Ms. Moreno get the desired outcome they want. We're gonna support our nominees(So, yes!) pic.twitter.com/c2RHGDQoif— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 9, 2026Word of the RNC’s apparent commitment to Miller comes as the congressman continues to buck calls from fellow Republicans to end his campaign.His ex-wife is the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), who described Miller as a violent person who needs “serious psychological help” while calling for him to step down from office last Sunday.Behind the scenes, Miller is reportedly worried that withdrawing from his race will seem like an admission of guilt.“If he quits, he’s basically giving up,” a source told Axios. “And if he gives up, it basically means he did it.”Last Tuesday, the House Ethics Panel launched an investigation into Miller at his own request. On social media, the congressman said the probe will ultimately “clear my name from these horrific attacks on myself and family.”
