Ohio’s governor is urging state lawmakers to prevent a partisan dispute that could prevent President Biden from appearing on the swing state’s ballot in November. The conflict arises from Ohio’s requirement for candidates to be officially nominated 90 days before the election, which clashes with the Democratic National Convention’s timing. While past issues of this nature were quietly resolved, Governor DeWine is calling for a special legislative session to address the situation. Despite confidence from the Biden campaign, Republican lawmakers are hesitant to provide a legislative remedy, potentially necessitating legal action. This dispute reflects broader partisan tensions and follows a similar clash earlier in the year regarding Trump’s ballot appearance in other states.
