Max Miller to resign or not seek reelection in November. This situation arises as Trump appears to be the main figure who could influence Miller to step down before Ohio&#8217;s legal deadlines to find a replacement on the ballot. Despite Moreno&#8217;s public comments about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/is-he-guilty-of-sexual-misconduct-depends-on-his-political-party\/\" title=\"Is He Guilty Of Sexual Misconduct? Depends On His Political Party.\">domestic violence allegations<\/a> against Miller, sources confirmed Moreno has not yet engaged directly with Trump regarding the matter. Discussions are ongoing at local and state levels about Miller\u2019s candidacy, with some concern over his behavior and credibility raised by Moreno and others. Trump expressed mixed feelings, calling Miller a good person but acknowledging the difficulty of the reelection campaign, and stated he would let families decide. Miller responded to recent allegations and legal issues by defending himself and claiming the accusations are unfounded. Moreno criticized Miller&#8217;s character and behavior publicly, emphasizing concerns for his family&#8217;s safety. the legal process for replacing Miller on the ballot depends on timing, with deadlines set in early August, and county party officials would select a possible replacement if necessary.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/bernie-moreno\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"11273\">Bernie Moreno<\/a> (R-OH) has not spoken directly to President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> about putting pressure on Rep.
