GOP nerves rise as ethics probes threaten key House races

TL;DR Summary
A cascade of ethics allegations against GOP freshmen in pivotal House districts heightens party anxiety ahead of the 2026 midterms: Rep. Max Miller’s Ohio seat, Rep. Chuck Edwards’ North Carolina seat, and Rep. Cory Mills’ Florida seat are all under ethics scrutiny, with Edwards withdrawing after a censure recommendation and Miller fighting to stay in. Democrats see openings to flip Miller’s and Mills’ seats, while Republicans weigh how to defend the rest as campaigns ramp up and spending grows.
