Democrats are planning to nominate President Joe Biden as the party’s candidate for the White House in 2024 by a roll call vote weeks before the Democratic convention. The ploy would avoid complications that could leave Biden off the ballot in Ohio. It would also avoid a potentially embarrassing protest by Biden’s critics within the Democratic Party if his nomination were to take place at the convention. The nominating process will mimic the process used in 2020 when the nominating was done virtually because of COVID-19. The early nomination will allow Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to be the party’s official nominees in time for Ohio’s ballot deadline for candidates, which falls on August 7, according to The Wall Street Journal. Democratic National Committee chairman Jaime Harrison has attacked Republican lawmakers in Ohio for not extending the ballot deadline for Biden as the legislature has done for candidates in previous years. “Democrats will land this plane on our own,” Harrison told WSJ. “Through a virtual roll call, we will ensure that Republicans can’t chip away at our democracy through incompetence or partisan tricks.” The law that put the rule in question in place was originally passed 15 years ago on a bipartisan basis. At the time, Democrats held a majority in the state House. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has pushed back against Democrats’ attacks. LaRose wrote for WSJ on Monday that the Democratic Party has left no room for him to help them legally, and it has refused to deal with Republican lawmakers in Ohio to score the deadline extension needed to nominate Biden at convention. “Unable so far to get a legislative fix to the problem they created, Democrats have flipped the script. They used to say refusing to enforce election rules was a threat to democracy; now refusing to bend the rules is a threat,” LaRose wrote. The roll call nomination could also save the president and Democrats from embarrassing protests over Biden’s handling of Israel’s war against Hamas. A vocal group of Democratic activists have pressured the administration to take a hard stand against Israel’s war, and Democratic officials are preparing for at least some of that angst to play out as protests during the Democratic convention August 19-22. One such protest group, the Coalition to March on the DNC, has applied with the city of Chicago for a permit to protest the convention multiple times, but without getting approval. The group withdrew a request for a permit recently in protest over actions authorities took against an anti-Israel protest camp at DuPaul University.

A proposed policy that would have required California public schools to inform parents if their children change their gender identity has failed to get enough signatures to appear on November’s ballot. Protect Kids California, the parental rights group that launched the ballot measure, announced Tuesday that they had failed to collect enough signatures. The group collected about 400,000 of the 546,651 signatures required to appear on the ballot. The deadline to submit the signatures to election officials was Wednesday. We want to thank our tens of thousands of supporters and volunteers for this truly historic effort! Together, we collected over 400,000 signatures – an unprecedented achievement for a 100% grassroots effort. You really are amazing! ? While it is unfortunate we did not have… pic.twitter.com/DdRJinW2uY — Protect Kids CA (@ProtectKidsCA) May 28, 2024 “While we are disappointed we didn’t meet the threshold to qualify for the ballot, we are encouraged by the amount of support from every sector of the state,” said campaign organizer Jonathan Zachreson, one of the group’s co-founders, as well as a Roseville school board member. Many of the signatures came from the Los Angeles area, Zachreson said. The ballot initiative essentially had three parts. The initiative would have banned puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender surgeries on minors and disciplined any violating doctor. It would also have repealed the California law that allows biological males to compete in girls’ sports and use girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms. Finally, the initiative would have prohibited schools from keeping a child’s new gender identity secret from their parents. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The group said they had faced “severe headwinds” from the beginning. Back in January, Protect Kids California filed a lawsuit against Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, over his characterization of the ballot initiative. Bonta had slammed the measure and dubbed it the “Restricts Rights of Transgender Youth” initiative in his office’s official summary, which appeared on the petition supporters had to sign to get it on the ballot. This confused supporters and hampered the parental rights group’s effort to gather signatures, Zachreson said at the time. “A lot of the feedback is ‘Why did you write the initiative this way?’ and they’re focused on the title and summary and we’re like ‘Well, we didn’t write it. That was Attorney General Rob Bonta,'” Zachreson said. “While we do feel like it’s going well, it definitely has an interfering effect on the process as well as from a donor perspective as well as for the signature gathering effort,” he said. In April, a judge denied the parental rights group’s motion. The group still plans to appeal that decision. “If we had a little more time or a little more money, we would have easily qualified for the ballot,” the group said Tuesday.

When Katy Perry announced earlier this year that she would be retiring as a judge on American Idol, audiences had two things on their mind. First of all, sad! Second, who would take her place? Well, we don’t have any answers on that front yet, but there is one star who’s absolutely chomping at the bit. Grammy winner Meghan Trainor is practically begging for a shot to be the show’s next judge! Appearing on Access Hollywood, the “Made You Look” singer wasn’t shy about expressing her interest in replacing Katy Perry on American Idol. In fact, she told hosts Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover that this would be her “dream job.” “Please,” she gushed. “I’ve been going everywhere, being like, ‘Hi, American Idol. Please. Choose me to be a coach. Please. Or judge. I will be the best. I will give my whole heart and soul. I promise. Please pick me, choose me, love me. I will do everything.” Screengrab from YouTube It turns out that this singer has a special place in her heart for new talent. Although Meghan Trainor is now a successful, Grammy-winning artist, there was a time when she was scared of the spotlight. She revealed in her interview that she once had an opportunity to audition for The Voice, but she couldn’t work up the courage to do it. So, she’s incredibly supportive of the people who put themselves out there on talent-based competition shows! “I care so much about new artists, too, especially shows like that, because I was too afraid to ever audition for that,” she said. “So I try to remind them, no matter what level they’re at — if you’re on this show and you auditioned, you win, for being brave enough.” Meghan Trainor is a favorite, but she’s not the only candidate to replace Katy Perry. Screengrab from YouTube Lopez and Hoover both agreed during the interview that Meghan Trainor would be a perfect fit for the show. There are, apparently, plenty of others in her corner, as well! ET tells us that current judge Luke Bryan and host Ryan Seacrest have both voiced their support. However, it sounds like Katy Perry has her own candidate in mind for her replacement on American Idol. Last month, the artist said that her choice would be Jason DeFord, also known as Jelly Roll. “I gotta say Jelly Roll was crazy when he came on the show,” Perry said to E! News. “I was convinced at anything he said. He could run for president, he could be my pastor, I might go back to church for him. He could sell me anything.” Although we’re sorry to see Katy Perry go, American Idol certainly isn’t hurting for potential replacements. We can’t wait to see who will be sitting in the judge’s chair next season! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
