Ohio's Secretary of State has written to the Ohio Democratic Party, warning that President Joe Biden may be removed from the November election ballot in 2024 unless the Democratic National Convention meets early or legislative criteria in the state be amended or waived.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a Republican, wrote to Ohio Democratic Party Chair Liz Walters, that the Democratic National Convention, which is scheduled for August 19 and will officially nominate the party's candidate for president, has passed the August 7 deadline for certifying presidential candidates on the Ohio ballot.

According to ABC news, the legal counsel for Ohio's Secretary of State, Paul Disantis, wrote in the letter, "I am left to conclude that the Democratic National Committee must either move up its nominating convention or the Ohio General Assembly must act by May 9, 2024 (90 days prior to a new law’s effective date) to create an exception to this statutory requirement."

The Ohio Democratic Party has stated that they got the letter and are presently analyzing it while Biden's team has expressed confidence that he would make it on the ballor.

An exemption waiver may be approved before May 9, or the convention would have to be relocated sooner, which is unlikely due to logistical and scheduling concerns.

Trump leads Biden in 6 swing states amid capability, economy concerns

A Wall Street Journal survey released on Wednesday has indicated that former US President Donald Trump leads in six of seven swing states ahead of the 2024 presidential elections, despite profound doubts about Joe Biden's capacity to govern and displeasure with the economy

The survey indicated that Trump leads Biden by 2-8 percentage points in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina on ballots that include and omit third-party and independent candidates.

In a different critical battleground state, Wisconsin, Biden leads by three points on multi-candidate ballots, but he and Trump are deadlocked when they are the only candidates on the ballot.

However, both are running for president with a "tarnished image," according to the survey. Biden has the highest negative opinions among voters, in part because he looks to be unable to hold together his 2020 coalitions particularly due to declining support among Hispanic, Black, and younger voters.

When questioned about the candidates' physical and mental condition, just 28% of those polled believed Biden was in a better overall shape to manage the White House, while 48% said Trump was more qualified.
