* Similarly, the latest national poll from Quinnipiac University found the Democratic nominee leading the former Republican president, 49% to 47%, with third-party candidates included. (Click the link for information on the survey’s methodology and margins of error.)

* Speaking of 2024 surveys, the latest Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll found Harris narrowly leading Trump in most of the key battleground states — Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — while the two major-party nominees are tied in Arizona.

* On a related note, Fox News’ latest round of polling found overwhelming support for abortion-rights ballot measures in Arizona and Nevada, where proponents outnumbered opponents by a roughly three-to-one margin. (Click the link for information on the survey’s methodology and margins of error.)

* In an interview this week with The Financial Times, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance urges billionaire Peter Thiel — the Ohio senator’s former boss — to get “off the sidelines” and start sending money to Trump’s 2024 campaign.

* In New Jersey, local Democratic officials chose state Sen. Nellie Pou to replace Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. on this year’s ballot in the aftermath of the congressman’s death last week. If Pou prevails in November, she’ll be the Garden State’s first Latina to serve in Congress.

* And in North Carolina, an effort to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the state’s 2024 ballot came too late, and the independent conspiracy theorist’s name will remain, despite his decision last week to end his candidacy.
