DNC Nominee Selection Timeline
The Democratic National Committee leadership has not yet set a date for the virtual roll call to nominate President Biden for a second term.

To comply with Ohio law, which requires parties to provide official nominees 90 days before the election, they must hold their roll call before August 7.

Montana: Favorable Republican Polling Numbers
New polling reveals that a pattern emerging in other states — i.e., Republican Senate candidates lagging well behind former President Trump's standing — is also present in Big Sky Country.
According to a Public Opinion Strategies survey, Navy SEAL and aerospace company CEO Tim Sheehy (R) trails Sen. Jon Tester (D) 39-36% on the definite vote, while the two are tied at 46% apiece when "leaners" (independent or less committed voters who lean in the direction of a particular party) are added to the aggregate total.
Meanwhile, the same poll found former Trump enjoying a large lead over President Biden, 50-32%, or 57-37% when leaners are factored in.

Virginia Rep. Good to Move for Recount
With the final vote tally in Virginia's 5th District Republican congressional primary showing a victory for state Sen. John McGuire (by 333 votes), incumbent Rep. Bob Good indicates that he will move for a full district-wide recount and suggests voter fraud influenced the outcome.
Though the 333 vote figure is a small number from a total of 62,585 votes, it is unlikely that a recount will change the result to the point of overturning the election.
Rep. Good outperformed early ballot test polling in the final vote, a pattern that is typically inconsistent with vote fraud, casting doubts on the accusation.
