CNN —The Democratic National Committee is planning to hold a virtual roll call ahead of the party’s August convention to nominate President Joe Biden in order to meet an Ohio ballot access deadline.
“Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree,” DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison said in a statement Tuesday.
A virtual roll call would resolve an ongoing struggle between the Biden campaign and GOP officials in the Buckeye State.
During the convention, the party played a virtual roll call which featured videos and live shots from around the country.
Holding a virtual roll call is one of several options Democrats weighed to keep Biden on the ballot.
