Ohio’s Republican-controlled state legislature has approved a bill to secure President Joe Biden’s spot on the state’s November ballot, ending weeks of political gamesmanship over a deadline that in past years was relaxed without drama.
The measure, which passed Friday in a special session of the state Senate, now heads to Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican. DeWine, who called the special session to resolve the Biden issue and tackle unrelated campaign finance legislation, is expected to sign the bill.
"I don’t think anybody on this side of the aisle really feels like they’re going to be voting for President Biden, but at the same time, Ohioans deserve a choice in this election, and that’s what we’re seeking to give them today,” state Sen. Rob McColley, a Republican, said Friday in supporting the measure.
The bill’s approval is not expected to halt a push to nominate Biden by a virtual roll call vote well ahead of a late August convention.
The Democratic National Committee announced that plan earlier this week, preferring to sidestep what had become an unpredictable partisan fight and ensure Biden is certified as the nominee before Ohio’s Aug. 7 deadline. The DNC indicated Friday that a Tuesday meeting for its rules and bylaws committee to advance on a resolution that would enable the virtual roll call will go on as scheduled. A full DNC vote would follow.

Get Pedo Pete on the ballot. He’ll lose fair and square. No complaints afterwards.
They’re still trying to get a pat on the head from their mortal enemies, but all they ever receive is another kick in the nuts. They’ve all got political Stockholm Syndrome.
When will the little communists approved a bill to declare President Prervert’s WINNING in the upcoming election?
Or did the SC already do that?
.
yes, they are soo nice those pubs....
What an utterly clueless and obtuse statement.
FJB !
Great, what happens when they replace Biden with Newsome?
This is actually a good thing as it will make it harder for them to replace Biden with Newsome at the convention.
Who are these assholes bragging to? Do it and stfu. Our side hates you too. Homos.
I want winning back!
DeWine ... Pffft!
Any chance he’ll refuse to sign it, considering the events of yesterday?
🤔
Nah.
What a cuck.
No chance he was the one pushing this.
And of course the little shithead weasel republican governor will sign it.
God, I hate repugnicans! The enemy is trying to keep Trump off ballots and here we are assisting them in getting Biden on a ballot.
God, I hate repugnicans!
Yep, I despise traitors, even more than the enemy.
It is absolutely sickening.
Why? The DNC knew the rules of Ohio. The DNC selected the date for their nomination after the cut off for Ohio. Why should we help them? Trump will win Ohio regardless. However, on down ballot races allowing Biden to run contrary to present Ohio rules will help the democrat party.
We are called the “Stupid Party” for very good reasons.
*And of course the little shithead weasel republican governor will sign it.*
It’s his idea. We all know who he is.
Would the democrats do the same for us? My God how stupid!
Evil always wins because good is dumb.
