Republican Max Miller successfully secured reelection for a position in the United States House, representing Ohio. The election took place on Tuesday, where Miller triumphed amidst a competitive three-candidate race that included former Representative Dennis Kucinich and Democratic contender Matthew Diemer. Kucinich, known for his eighteen years in the House as a Democrat and his two previous presidential bids, transitioned to an independent candidate for this election cycle. However, his campaign struggled to gain traction and did not receive substantial financial backing in the predominantly Republican 7th Congressional District.

Miller initially entered Congress in 2022, gaining the endorsement of former President Donald Trump to face off against Anthony Gonzalez, a sitting Republican who had voted for Trump’s impeachment. Gonzalez chose to retire, paving a clearer path for Miller’s candidacy. As the clock struck 11:02 p.m. EST, the results were officially declared, confirming Miller’s victory in the race.
