Embattled Rep. Max Miller Tests GOP Loyalty After Abuse Allegations
- Millions in GOP cash flowing to save embattled Miller seat
- Trump flips script, calls to offer praise despite abuse allegations
- Party brass prioritizing power over optics in grim midterms
- Candidate claims conversation with former President was really good
Brief Summary
Rep. Max Miller is finding out that in Washington, loyalty—and a healthy campaign bank account—can shield a candidate from almost any scandal. Despite facing serious abuse allegations that would have sidelined lesser politicians, Miller is seeing a surge of GOP financial support as the party fights to keep its grip on the seat.
Why This Matters
This race is a litmus test for how much the political establishment is willing to overlook when the balance of power is on the line. When party leadership decides that winning a seat is more important than the character of the candidate, it sends a clear message about what matters in the halls of Congress. Expect your tax dollars and legislative priorities to be shaped by representatives who have been bought and paid for by a party that values incumbency over integrity.
