What happened

Why it matters

Under Ohio law, Republicans have until Monday at 4 p.m.

Common ground

But the local Republican officials responsible for choosing one must receive at least two days' notice before meeting, meaning Miller would have needed to withdraw by Saturday for the party to complete the process in time.
