Republicans and Democrats in Ohio are negotiating to make sure that President Biden appears on the November ballot since Biden's formal nomination will be after Ohio's ballot deadline.
Republican legislative leaders in Ohio say they are negotiating with Democrats to assure President Joe Biden appears on the state's November ballot, but the exact shape of the solution remains murky.
On Tuesday, Republican House Speaker Jason Stephens expressed support for doing something to fix the problem with Ohio's deadline not just for this election cycle, but on a longer term basis. Since Ohio changed its certification deadline from 60 to 90 days ahead of its general election, state lawmakers have had to adjust the requirement twice, in 2012 and 2020, to accommodate candidates of both parties. Each change was only temporary. Huffman said he also favors a more permanent solution.
Senate Democratic Leader Nickie Antonio continued to express confidence Wednesday that Biden will make Ohio's ballot, saying that 'all options are being explored.' 'The discussion is there, and it will become reality when we see it,' she said. Antonio said a proxy war between Huffman and Stephens for next session's speakership is 'the elephant in the room' that may be causing delays.
