Democrats to Nominate Biden in Early August Amid Calls for Him to Quit

Democrats plan to hold a virtual vote in early August to nominate President Joe Biden, despite calls from some within the party for him to withdraw after a poor debate performance. The DNC's rules committee will finalize the voting process, aiming to meet Ohio's initial filing deadline to avoid legal challenges. A recent poll shows nearly two-thirds of Democrats want Biden to step aside, and only about 30% are confident in his mental capability to serve effectively.

DNC to Virtually Nominate Biden Before Chicago Convention Amid Ohio Ballot Issues

The Democratic National Convention in Chicago will lose some of its celebratory luster as Democrats plan to virtually nominate President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris before the convention to comply with Ohio's ballot access laws. Despite this, Biden and Harris will still attend the event to celebrate and accept their nominations in person. The decision follows Republican state lawmakers' failure to shift Ohio's ballot access date, necessitating a virtual roll call to ensure Biden's presence on the Ohio ballot.

"Republican-Led States Threaten to Exclude Biden from 2024 Ballots"

GOP-led states Ohio and Alabama are considering excluding President Biden from the 2024 election ballot due to deadlines that fall before his official nomination at the Democratic National Convention. Officials in both states cite legal requirements for political parties to provide their certificate of nomination before specific deadlines, and while Biden has secured enough delegates for the nomination, the convention is scheduled after the deadlines. In 2020, Alabama made a one-time exception for Trump, and Ohio is considering a similar move for Biden. The Biden campaign remains confident that he will be on the ballot in all 50 states.

Ohio's top election official, Secretary of State Frank LaRose, has warned that President Joe Biden might not be able to appear on the state's ballot in November due to a conflict between the Democratic National Convention's timing and Ohio law, which requires presidential candidates to be nominated by 7 August, 90 days before the general election.
