Ohio Governor Signs Bills Impacting Biden's Ballot and Foreign Contributions

Governor Mike DeWine enacts legislation to ensure Biden's place on the ballot and expand the ban on foreign political contributions.

The new law relaxes Ohio's candidate filing deadline, securing Biden's spot on the November ballot.
The legislation also bans contributions from foreign nationals, including green card holders.
The measures were passed during a special session called by the Republican-dominated Legislature.
Democrats accuse Republicans of leveraging the ballot issue to pass unrelated measures.
The contribution ban could affect several upcoming Ohio ballot initiatives, including changes to redistricting and minimum wage laws.
