A legal technicality in Ohio may prevent President Biden from being on the November ballot, as the state requires parties to confirm their presidential candidates 90 days before the election, which is August 7th. But President Biden will not be the official Democratic nominee until the Democratic National Convention, which is on August 19th. Senate and House Minority Leaders Nickie Antonio and Allison Russo were seemingly unaware of this, and plenty of other lawmakers on each side of the aisle also didn’t know. Secretary of State Frank LaRose didn’t remind the Democrats until April, but they remain positive. Case Western Reserve University constitutional law professor Jonathan Entin said that in most other states, this would be an easy fix. “The obvious solution is for the legislature to get rid of the 90-day deadline,” Entin said. However, the Republican supermajority in Ohio is fractured and has significant infighting, making it unlikely that they will pass an emergency bill to help the Democrats.

A recent poll from NBC News indicates that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) could pose a significant threat to Donald Trump, potentially more so than to President Joe Biden. In a head-to-head matchup, Trump leads Biden by a narrow margin of 2 percentage points (46% to 44%). However, when the ballot expands to include five candidates, Biden gains a slight advantage with 39% of the vote, followed by Trump with 37% and RFK Jr. with a surprising 13%. Notably, 15% of voters who initially supported Trump in the head-to-head matchup shifted their allegiance to RFK Jr. in the expanded ballot.

Despite low public enthusiasm for a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, CNN polling analyst Harry Enten believes this could benefit Biden. Biden consistently polls better among likely voters than among all registered voters. Democrats have also performed well in special elections, driven by highly engaged voters who participate consistently in all elections. Enten suggests that this dynamic could give Biden an edge against Trump, who faces numerous legal challenges and allegations of election interference.

Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape has condemned President Biden’s suggestion that his uncle was eaten by cannibals during World War II. Biden made the comments while discussing his uncle’s service in New Guinea, saying his plane was shot down and his body was never found due to the presence of cannibals in the area. Marape has demanded an apology from Biden, stating that his country should not be associated with cannibalism. The White House has yet to respond to Marape’s criticism.
