Overview
- Miller told reporters on Saturday that he would not withdraw and the two-day notice local party chairs needed lapsed, leaving him effectively locked in after Monday’s 4 p.m. certification deadline.
- His ex-wife, Emily Moreno, has publicly accused him of physical abuse of her and their young daughter, allegations Miller denies while also suing her for defamation and requesting an Ethics review.
- The U.S. House Ethics Committee has opened an inquiry to determine whether Miller may have engaged in domestic violence or illegal drug use after he asked the committee to investigate himself.
- Miller released a large set of documents to defend himself that included his daughter’s name, his ex‑wife’s address, and at least one sensitive image that his attorney later apologized for, prompting privacy and legal concerns.
- GOP leaders are split over his fate, President Trump told Miller to weigh his odds, Miller loaned his campaign $1 million, and polls and Democratic groups now view the seat as contestable with potential consequences for House control.
