Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and there is a nightmare
0:05
scenario unfolding right now for Joe Biden. We have breaking news. He could be off the ballot
0:12
in one of the major states in this country, Ohio, a state a lot of people believe you need to win
0:19
in order to become president. Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment

0:29
grow. ABC News is breaking this story. They have received the legal letter that was sent to the
0:36
Democrat National Committee from the Secretary of State's office in Ohio. The letter says that
0:43
if Biden does not get on the ballot before the Democrat National Convention when they officially
0:50
nominate him, he will not be eligible to be on the ballot in Ohio. What does this mean? It means
0:57
the Democrats either have to move up their convention, nominate Biden ahead of the
1:02
convention or do something with Ohio because Ohio has a date that you need to be on their ballot by
1:11
and that date is weeks before the Democrat National Convention when Biden officially gets
1:16
nominated. Being off the Ohio ballot would be devastating for Joe Biden. I want to read you
1:22
from the ABC report. In the letter obtained by ABC News, legal counsel for Secretary of State
1:28
Frank LaRose sought clarification for a quote apparent an apparent conflict in Ohio law between
1:35
the Democratic National Committee's nominating process and the deadline by which the party's
1:40
presidential nominee must be certified to the Secretary of State's office. The Democratic
1:45
National Convention is scheduled to convene on August 19th which will take place more than a
1:50
week after the August 7th deadline to certify a presidential candidate in Ohio. The office flagged
1:57
according to state code which would create a problem for Biden's eligibility. I am left to
2:03
conclude that the Democratic National Committee must either move up its nominating convention
2:08
or the Ohio General Assembly must act by May 9, 2024, 90 days prior to a new law's effective date
2:16
To create an exception to this statutory requirement, legal counsel Paul DeSantis wrote
2:21
in the letter requesting a quick response on a solution to become compliant with state law
2:27
The Ohio Democratic Party confirmed to ABC News that they received the letter and are in the
2:32
process of reviewing it. Copied on the letter were top Ohio Democrats, Ohio House Minority Leader
2:37
Alison Russo and Ohio Senate Minority Leader Nikki Antonio. Ohio used to be a battleground
2:44
state which is what they're saying here but it's been pretty right in recent years and Trump won it
2:49
huge in 2016 and 2020. Now a spokesman for the Biden campaign said we're monitoring the situation
2:55
in Ohio and we're confident that Joe Biden will be on the ballot in all 50 states. But the law
3:01
is the law and if a resolution is not reached in a timely fashion, Joe Biden's not going to be on
3:07
the ballot in Ohio and that is tremendously damaging to any presidential candidate. Now if
3:12
it were up to me, Joe Biden wouldn't be on the ballot in any of the 50 states. He's a horrible
3:16
choice for president but this is who the Democrats have. I want to know your opinion on this so please
3:21
let me know when you like, comment, share and subscribe. I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain America

We love you guys. God bless you. Take care everybody
