President Biden will be formally nominated as the Democratic presidential nominee before the party’s official convention in August. The Democratic National Committee says the party will nominate Joe Biden through a virtual roll call. It’s a maneuver that will allow the president to appear on the ballot in Ohio this November. Ohio‘s ballot deadline is August 7 — two weeks before the Democratic National Convention, where he would otherwise be formally nominated. The DNC chairman said “Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and all 50 states.”
