Miller stays in race as Moreno denounces him

August 3, 2026

Representative Max Miller says he will stay in his House race after domestic abuse allegations surfaced and Senator Bernie Moreno, his former father-in-law, denounced him.

MS NOW reports the December 2025 divorce that ended Miller's marriage, a split Miller described as amicable, and reports that Miller now accuses his ex-wife of repeatedly making grave and damaging claims against him without offering evidence. CBS News carries Miller's direct answer on his political future: "I'm not getting out of this race, and I'm winning in November," Miller said.

Politico reports that Moreno, Miller's former father-in-law, has denounced him, and The Washington Post reports Moreno calling Miller a danger who should not sit in Congress. Axios reaches the same bottom line: Miller is not dropping out. The five outlets differ in emphasis, MS NOW and CBS News on Miller's defiance, Politico and the Post on Moreno's attack, but not on any fact.

What is settled is Miller's refusal to leave the race and Moreno's public break with him. The allegations themselves, their substance and any corroboration, sit outside what these five outlets establish.

Still developing

The substance of the allegations is unexamined across the five outlets, and no account yet records whether party leaders or other Ohio figures follow Moreno's lead.
