Biden Faces Potential Exclusion from Ohio Ballot Due to Nomination Timing

President Joe Biden's nomination timing could prevent his appearance on Ohio's November ballot, sparking legal and political challenges.

President Joe Biden risks being left off the Ohio presidential ballot in November due to a conflict between the Democratic National Convention's timing and Ohio's ballot certification deadline.
Ohio law requires presidential candidates to be certified 90 days before the general election, but the Democratic National Convention is scheduled after this deadline.
The Ohio Secretary of State's office has alerted the Ohio Democratic Party to the issue, suggesting the convention be moved up or an exception be made for Biden.
A similar situation occurred before the 2020 election, leading to a one-time change in state law to accommodate the nomination conventions.
The Biden campaign is confident that the president will be on the ballot in all 50 states, despite the current legal challenge in Ohio.
