This is a seat we should hold. He needs to step down - certainly if the allegations are true, but even if they are not, he should focus on clearing his name, not to mention he could save this seat.
I know nothing about the facts of the allegations but have to agree. If innocent, he can salvage his political career by resigning so the seat can be saved. If he continues to run and loses the seat then, regardless of innocence, his political career will be toast.
“This is a seat we should hold”
R+6 district. Democrats were pursuing it hard even before allegations of Miller’s scumbaggery surfaced. Allegations are all that’s needed, when the target is a Republican. Proof is optional.
And of course, unlike when one of their own kind is the scumbag, the Democrat media will be jumping all over Miller with both feet from now until he is out of office.
That time either comes this week, or in November. He’s DOA either way. And so is that seat if the GOP naively waits until November to see how things shake out.
Same thing is going to happen to Chuck Edwards (R) in NC-11.
People who act like Republicans are assured of keeping the House because “muh redistricting” are going to be surprised when they see how that temporary (and smaller than they think) advantage is bled away by all the tossup seats — and ones like Miller’s which should NOT be tossups — that turn to ashes in November unless the political environment improves significantly in the next 3 months.
There’s no need for the GOP to shoot itself in the foot even further by forfeiting seats like OH-7 which wouldn’t be in serious jeopardy otherwise.
