Democrat Brian Poindexter unseats Ohio Rep. Max Miller in 7th District
Brian Poindexter, a Democrat, has won the U.S. House seat in Ohio's 7th District, knocking off Republican Rep. Max Miller. Miller had been dogged by domestic abuse allegations. The Associated Press called the race after determining Miller had no remaining path to victory.
Democrat Brian Poindexter is heading to Congress. He won the U.S. House seat in Ohio's 7th District, according to the Associated Press, defeating Republican Rep. Max Miller.
Miller, the incumbent, has faced domestic abuse allegations. The AP's call means the GOP loses a sitting member of the House in a district that will now send a Democrat to Washington.
The call came through AP's Decision Team, which declares a winner only when it is certain the trailing candidate no longer has a path to victory. AP has tabulated vote counts in U.S. elections since 1848 and today collects results from local election officials across thousands of races nationwide, reporting them as soon as they are available.
For readers tracking the numbers, AP notes that vote margin shifts at the reporting unit level reflect two-party vote share — a detail that matters in the final stretch of any close count.
The result flips a House seat in Ohio and adds to the Democratic column as the chamber's balance is settled race by race.
