Max Miller refuses to drop out

Apparently Miller had to drop out by tonight, if local party officials were going to be able to find a replacement in time to meet Monday’s 4 PM deadline to replace him on the ballot, per state law. But, like his role model Donald Trump, he’s a “fighter:”
Over the past week, pressure mounted from within his party for him to step aside. President Trump called Mr. Miller, a former aide to the president, to encourage him to look carefully at his odds. Senator Jon Husted of Ohio, a Republican also up for re-election, described him as unfit for office and urged him to resign from Congress. White House staff members and Republican officials in Ohio have privately conveyed concerns that his personal problems could cost the party a seat as it tries to keep control of the House.
But Mr. Miller has been resolute all week that he planned to do what Mr. Trump had done when faced with his own personal scandals: stay in and fight. He has defended himself in a media tour that left some in his own party worried about his mental state and alarmed at the prospect of his continued candidacy.
In November, he will face Brian Poindexter, a union-card-carrying ironworker who Democrats believe can defeat Mr. Miller with an appeal to the working-class voters in Ohio’s Seventh District.
Breaking a toddler’s collarbone is a kind of fighting, I suppose.
