**Max Miller remains the locked-in Republican nominee for Ohio’s 7th Congressional District in the November 2026 election after key withdrawal deadlines passed in August without his cooperation.** Party leaders and Trump-aligned groups have since provided campaign support to retain the seat, even amid domestic allegations from his ex-wife that prompted earlier calls for him to step aside. Miller has rejected those calls, loaned his campaign funds, and continued serving in the current Congress. With no public statements or procedural moves signaling an imminent resignation before year-end, and the new congressional term beginning only in January 2027, traders see little basis for him leaving office by December 31, 2026. Recent polling shows a competitive race against Democrat Brian Poindexter, but that outcome would not alter his status before the close of the calendar year.
