20:16Now PlayingJames Carville and Albert Hunt sit down with Brian Poindexter, an ironworker and Brook Park city councilman challenging Republican incumbent Max Miller in Ohio's 7th District. Miller is facing sexual abuse allegations for a second time — allegations serious enough that his own father-in-law, Republican Senator Bernie Moreno, has called him unfit for office. Brian makes his case as the workers-first alternative in a red-leaning district, and Carville jumps in with a live pitch for how he'd turn the Moreno connection into a winning ad.
Max Miller is facing renewed sexual abuse allegations, and his father-in-law, GOP Senator Bernie Moreno, has publicly called him unfit for office
Miller hasn't held a town hall in years and hasn't committed to any debates; Brian says he's already held eight since the primary
Trump carried Ohio 7 by 11 points and Miller by 15, but Brian points to the district's union roots and Sherrod Brown's 2018 win as proof a workers-first Democrat can compete
Carville's live pitch: run an ad backing Bernie Moreno's bipartisan bill to save Social Security by lifting the payroll tax cap above $190,000 — a plan he claims polls at 81%
Brian breaks down his positions on healthcare (strengthen union bargaining now, build toward universal coverage), tariffs (targeted yes, blanket no), and Miller's five votes for the Iran war
Carville calls the race's fundamentals — candidate quality, district lean, and a favorable 2026 map — "lined up," and the episode closes with a push to fund the campaign through November
