COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Democratic National Committee plans to hold a 'virtual roll call' to nominate President Joe Biden before the party's August convention — a tactic meant to spare Biden the increasing danger of being left off Ohio's general election ballot. Biden's campaign and DNC announced the move Tuesday as the state Legislature here opened a special session ordered by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine to resolve the issue.
Party officials are likening the approach to the virtual convention held in 2020 during the pandemic. The Biden campaign and DNC had for weeks resisted going forward with such plans. Ohio's certification deadlines have come before both parties' nominating conventions in the past, and in those instances, both parties resolved the issue cleanly, without rancor.
