Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced on Thursday that he is calling a special session of the General Assembly next week to pass legislation ensuring President Joe Biden's inclusion on the November general election ballot.
"Ohio is running out of time to get Joe Biden, the sitting President of the United States, on the ballot this fall. Failing to do so is simply unacceptable. This is a ridiculous and absurd situation," DeWine said.
LaRose informed the state Democratic Party that Biden would not appear on the ballot unless the party's nomination date aligns with state law.
Ohio law requires political parties to certify their nominees at least 90 days before the general election, a deadline that falls on August 7 this year.
LaRose had previously indicated that the Democratic National Committee would either need to advance its nomination date or the Ohio legislature would have to enact new legislation to adjust the certification timeline.
The state House of Representatives failed to pass a bill to accommodate this requirement before its legislative session concluded, according to the Ohio Capital Journal.
Governor DeWine's call for a special legislative session highlights the pressing timeline and the necessity of legislative intervention to secure Biden's place on Ohio's ballot for the upcoming general election.
