The issue of whether President Joe Biden will appear on Ohio's fall ballot has become entangled in a partisan legislative battle over foreign money in state ballot campaigns. This conflict arose following a successful campaign last year, backed by a Swiss billionaire, to enshrine abortion rights in Ohio's constitution.
Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose proposed a ban on foreign money in initiative campaigns, which led to a deadlock in resolving the ballot deadline issue before the Democratic National Convention. Despite the deadline passing without a resolution, both Republican and Democratic leaders remain confident that Biden will be on the ballot, although the specifics are uncertain.
