俄亥俄州阿什兰德——在夏天，共和党众议员马克斯·米勒（Max Miller）的连任希望岌岌可危，此前有 domestic-violence 指控。其他共和党人——包括该州的两位参议员——表示他应该退出竞选，特朗普总统也告诉他他赢选的前景不容乐观。
ASHLAND, Ohio—During the summer, GOP Rep. Max Miller’s re-election hopes looked dim following domestic-violence allegations. Fellow Republicans—including the state’s two senators—said he should drop out, and President Trump told him his prospects for winning weren’t good.
但进入决选阶段，共和党团体现已在米勒身上投入数百万美元，作为共和党试图在中期选举的不利形势下挽救该席位。米勒表示，特朗普上个月打电话称赞他，在最初的怀疑之后，他还表示最近与众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（R., La.）进行了一次“非常好的”交谈。他表示，他的支持率偏向共和党的选民知道这些指控，但仍然支持他。
But headed into the final stretch, Republican groups are now throwing millions of dollars behind Miller, as the GOP tries to salvage the seat amid a grim outlook in the midterms. Miller said Trump called last month to praise him after initial doubts, and he said he had a “really good” conversation recently with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.). He said voters in his red-leaning constituency are aware of the allegations but are sticking with him.
