Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* As primary results in Maryland come in, it looks like Republican voters ignored outgoing Gov. Larry Hogan’s advice and instead nominated Trump-backed state Del. Dan Cox in the GOP’s gubernatorial primary.
* The latest national CNN poll found Democrat and Republicans tied on the congressional generic ballot, with both parties garnering 46 percent support. It’s worth noting for context that a CNN poll in May showed the GOP with a seven-point advantage.
* In Florida’s U.S. Senate race, Republican incumbent Sen. Marco Rubio is launching a series of new attack ads targeting Democratic Rep. Val Demings, including one ad slamming the congresswoman for using TikTok.
* On a related note, Rubio was a little more honest than he probably intended to be on Fox News this week, saying the network helps Republicans get the party’s message out “without having to pay for it.”
