Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., told NBC News\u2019 \u201cMeet the Press\u201d Sunday that embattled Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, who is facing abuse allegations, should drop his re-election bid and resign \u201cif the allegations are true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller\u2019s ex-wife Emily Moreno, the daughter of Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio, accused the congressman of domestic violence. Miller has not faced criminal charges related to the allegations and vehemently denied them and has vowed to stay in the race.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe allegations against him are terrible, and if he\u2019s endangering a seat in Congress as we\u2019re trying to keep the majority in the House, and he should drop out if he\u2019s endangering that seat,\u201d Banks told \u201cMeet the Press\u201d moderator Kristen Welker. \u201cHe should drop out because of the allegations against him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The domestic violence allegations rocketed across the national political landscape after Miller posted a livestream denying them, prompting Sen. Moreno to publicly denounce his former son-in-law. Miller later called for the House Ethics Committee to investigate the allegations against him, saying he has \u201cabsolutely nothing to hide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emily Moreno has accused Miller of throwing her against a wall, holding a gun to her head and throwing hot water on her, according to documents her Miller sued his ex-wife alleging defamation, and her lawyers moved to dismiss the lawsuit. Sen. Moreno said in a statement this month that Miller \u201cis a danger to my daughter, and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether he believed Miller should resign from office, Banks said, \u201cIf the allegations are true and watching this play out publicly, of course he should resign.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know enough about the political dynamics, but I\u2019ve watched the allegations, they\u2019re deeply troubling, and I pray for all involved, especially the kid, and hope that justice prevails in this case,\u201d Banks said.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Miller did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Banks is the latest Republican to publicly call for Miller to step aside. Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., called Miller \u201ca degenerate sociopath\u201d and said he should step aside. Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, has said that Miller \u201cwould be making the right decision to step aside as a candidate and resign from Congress to focus on what is in the best interest of his daughter.\u201d Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., and Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., have told media outlets that Miller should resign.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the office of the Ohio secretary of state has told NBC News that Monday is the deadline to replace a candidate. Miller was expected to headline an event in his district on Monday, but the Republican organization canceled the event days ago, citing security concerns.<\/p>\n
