Max Miller doubles down on staying in Ohio House race

Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) said Tuesday that he won't drop his reelection bid despite facing allegations of domestic abuse and violence from his ex-wife and two other women.

Why it matters: Miller has until Wednesday to withdraw from the race, and President Trump has expressed concern that the embattled congressman could put a reliably Republican seat at risk in the midterms.

What they're saying: When asked about his plans on Tuesday by CNN's Jake Tapper, Miller said he wouldn't withdraw, and pointed to Trump as a reason why.

• "In 2016, when President Donald J. Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world that hit him day after day after day, and people in the media, very much like yourself and others, said that he would have no shot at winning, that he should not be the president of the United States. But guess what? He stayed in, and he was resilient.
• "And what the American people can see, is ....somebody is fighting, who is resilient, and that is a quality that the American people cherish," Miller said.
