Ohio legislators failed to agree on a plan to include President Joe Biden on the state’s general election ballot by May 8, prompting Democrats to consider taking the issue to court for resolution. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a Republican, stated that the deadline for presidential candidates to be nominated is August 7, 90 days before the general election. As the legislative deadline passed without a resolution, House Minority Leader Allison Russo mentioned the possibility of a lawsuit to ensure President Biden’s ballot access. Despite the lack of agreement in the legislature, Governor Mike DeWine expressed confidence that President Biden will appear on the ballot either through legislation or court intervention. Meanwhile, Senate President Matt Huffman indicated his belief that a federal judge may order President Biden’s inclusion on the Ohio ballot. The situation remains uncertain as both parties navigate the complex legal and political landscape surrounding the issue.
Moreno, stated in an email to The Epoch Times, that the candidate opposes the efforts of Democrats to prevent President Trump from appearing on the ballot in Ohio. He believes that President Biden should also be allowed to be on the Ohio ballot.
“He believes that Ohioans should have the right to choose their preferred candidate for President, and is confident that President Trump will secure another landslide victory in Ohio,” said Ms. McCarthy.
Meanwhile, as President Biden continued his efforts to gain ballot access in Ohio on May 8, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that he had successfully gathered enough signatures in the state to qualify for the ballot.
