GOP Senators Urge Max Miller to Resign Amid Abuse Allegations

US Senator Jim Banks has joined a growing number of Republican senators in demanding that Representative Max Miller resign from his position due to allegations of physical abuse against his former wife and their two-year-old daughter. Banks stated on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday that these allegations, which Miller has vehemently denied, are "deeply troubling."

He is set to face Democrat Brian Poindexter, an ironworker, in his bid for a third term. A spokesperson for Max Miller did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sunday. Abigail Angelos, a campaign spokeswoman for Miller, had previously told The New York Times that...
