Seniors displaced after Yarmouth fire | SaltWire #fire #yarmouth #seniors #newsWASHINGTON - The Democratic National Committee will nominate President Joe Biden as the party’s presidential standard-bearer through a “virtual roll call” ahead of its August convention in Chicago, bypassing a detail in Ohio law that had threatened to keep the president off the November ballot in that state.Ohio law requires all candidates to be legally certified by Aug.
