President Joe Biden may be held off the ballot in two states, GOP officials announced in the past week.
  • Ohio and Alabama, both GOP-led, may not allow Biden on the November ballot.
  • Both states require a party nominee to be officially certified by a certain deadline.
  • And this year, the DNC, where Biden is expected to be certified, falls after those deadlines. 

Ohio and Alabama — both GOP-run states — are saying they might not allow Biden on the ballot this November.

It all comes down to deadlines that fall before Biden is officially nominated, and both Ohio and Alabama officials say Biden could be too late.
