"Challenges Mount for Biden's Ballot Placement in Multiple States"

Ohio GOP leaders rejected a plan from Democrats to get President Joe Biden on the November ballot after the party scheduled its convention past a state election deadline. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose warned that Biden is at risk of not making the ballot due to the state's 90-day certification requirement before the election. Democrats proposed provisional certification, but the Attorney General's office stated that this won't work and the law mandates actual certification by August 7. Democrats are left with the options of seeking legislative exemption or suing, as Ohio isn't the only state facing this issue.

"States Warn of GOP Efforts to Keep Biden Off Ballot"

Republican secretaries of state in Ohio and Alabama have warned that President Biden might not appear on their ballots in November due to the timing of his expected nomination at the Democratic National Convention. Democrats accuse GOP officials of partisan gamesmanship and note that exceptions have been made for Republicans in the past. The Biden campaign is exploring provisional certification and legislative remedies, while also expressing confidence that Biden will appear on the ballot in both states. The lack of a presidential nominee could have damaging implications for Democratic turnout farther down the ballot, especially in Ohio, which is home to a closely watched Senate race.

Glenn Youngkin's Presidential Aspirations Hang in the Balance

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin's potential run for president in 2024 faces significant challenges due to missed candidate-filing deadlines in key early states. While some conservatives have encouraged Youngkin to enter the race as an alternative to Donald Trump, the logistical hurdles of gathering petition signatures and meeting filing requirements pose a significant obstacle. Even if Youngkin were to overcome these challenges, experts believe his chances of winning the nomination are slim, citing the need for experienced staff, donor thresholds, and attention to detail. However, some supporters still see a path for Youngkin based on his personal wealth, blue-state credibility, and the unique circumstances of the 2024 cycle.
