Donald Trump says "it’s going to be a tough race" for Rep. Max Miller’s campaign

Republican Representative Max Miller of Ohio is resisting calls to resign and pressing on with his re-election campaign after his former wife, Emily Moreno, accused him of domestic violence, as described in law enforcement records cited by ABC News. Miller denies the allegations and has asked the House Ethics Committee to investigate; the panel has opened a case. Several GOP senators have said he should leave office. President Donald Trump, who once employed Miller as a White House aide, called him Monday to discuss the race; Miller said Trump gave a pessimistic assessment of his prospects. Moreno is the daughter of Republican Senator Bernie Moreno, who said the matter has been very difficult for his family.
