Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost told 'Fox & Friends First' that the Democratic National Convention's timing could hinder Biden's spot on the state's November ballots.
President Biden's name could be missing from ballots in one of the nation's key bellwether states this November if Democrats don't play their cards just right. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost told Fox News on Thursday the issue stems from the Democratic National Convention's timing, which takes place after the Buckeye State is required to certify its ballot.
Yost says the party has plenty of time to get the issue resolved, however. 'Right now, it doesn't look like they're compliant, but, if there's anything that party has, it's a surplus of lawyers,' he told co-host Carley Shimkus. 'They've got several months to figure this out. I fully expect them to figure out a way to get their candidate on the ballot. After all, he's one of the two major candidates. He's an incumbent president.
