Former Trump administration official Max Miller has won a House seat in Ohio in a victory bolstered by the ex-president's endorsement and the exits of two Republican congressmen.
Miller defeated Democrat Matthew Diemer and was a clear favorite after winning in the GOP primary. Miller served as both a campaign and White House aide to former President Donald Trump.
Miller initially launched his campaign to replace Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, R-Ohio, after Gonzalez voted to impeach Trump. But Gonzalez retired and so did Republican Bob Gibbs, clearing the way Miller.
Redrawn congressional maps eventually put Miller in a district with Republican Rep. Bob Gibbs, who suddenly decided to retire this year.
