The U.S. political landscape remains charged as Democrats intensify attacks against Donald Trump's newly-selected running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, over his past statements on abortion. Vance's previous hardline stance may signal future Republican policies if they secure victory in November.

Trump’s running mate, Vance, is set to address the Republican National Convention, potentially setting the tone for the party's direction amid President Biden’s recent COVID-19 diagnosis. Biden will continue his duties from Delaware while isolating.

Adding to the ongoing political drama, U.S. prosecutors are appealing a federal judge’s dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump. Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy exonerated 258 Black sailors court-martialed following a deadly 1944 explosion, and Republicans demand the resignation of the Secret Service chief after an assassination attempt on Trump.
