The Biden ballot fix bill and a foreign money bill now head to Gov. DeWine.
Ohio passes bill to ensure Biden appears on November ballot -- but DNC still plans to hold virtual roll callPresident Joe Biden delivers remarks on the verdict in former President Donald Trump's hush money trial and on the Middle East, from the State Dining Room of the White House, May 31, 2024, in Washington.The bill's passage comes despite a move by the Democratic National Committee earlier this week that evades the original scheduling issue entirely.
After DeWine signs the bill, Ohio's ballot certification deadline will be Aug. 23, following the Democratic Party's nominating convention, which starts on Aug. 19. In a statement, a DNC spokesperson said they "already" took their own action despite "Ohio Republicans' shenanigans" of pushing through a separate bill through the special legislative session that bars foreign contributions to ballot issue campaigns -- a bill that Democrats say is a direct response to the ballot measure last year that enshrined abortion protections into the state's constitution.
