## Summary

Ohio Republican Max Miller has lost his seat in Congress to Democrat Brian Poindexter, despite receiving Donald Trump’s endorsement. The result comes as Miller faces domestic abuse allegations from his former wife and a House ethics committee investigation, though he denies the allegations.

Emily Moreno alleged that Miller held a gun to her head, scalded her with boiling water and caused their toddler daughter’s broken collarbone; Miller has denied abuse and sued her for defamation. The couple’s divorce was finalised in 2025, and the article says the domestic assault allegations have not been formally investigated. The House ethics committee is also examining allegations of domestic violence and drug use.
