Allies of Donald Trump are pressing him to encourage Rep. Max Miller to end his reelection campaign, according to sources familiar with the matter. The effort points to growing concern among people close to Trump as Miller faces serious personal allegations during an election cycle.
The pressure comes amid domestic abuse claims made by Miller's ex-wife. The situation has also drawn attention because of added pressure from his former father-in-law, deepening the political strain around Miller's candidacy.
The report indicates that some Trump allies believe a direct intervention from Trump could influence whether Miller stays in the race. That makes the episode more than a personal controversy, turning it into a broader test of how Republicans handle allegations involving one of their own.
For now, the focus is on whether Miller will continue his bid or face stronger calls to step aside. With abuse allegations hanging over the campaign, the reelection effort remains under heavy scrutiny from both Trumpworld and the wider Republican Party.
