What time does the DNC start?
While many events will take place throughout each day, the "main programming" is slated to begin at 5:30 p.m. (6:30 PM Easterrn) Tuesday, a shift from the 6 p.m. (7:00 PM Easterrn) scheduled start time. Organizers said the timing change was made to "make sure that we stay on track."

Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, will hold a rally with her running mate Gov. Tim Walz inside the Fiserv Forum.

Doors open for the Harris-Walz event at 4 p.m. (5 PM Eastern)

Harris is expected to deliver her remarks at 7 p.m. (8 PM Eastern)

When Denisha Mitchell was asked why she filled out paperwork to serve as an Arizona elector for the independent presidential candidate Cornel West, her first response was “What?!” Her second: What’s an elector?
...
She and her husband were both enthusiastic supporters of Bernie Sanders and were drawn to West’s progressive message earlier this year. They later took jobs gathering petition signatures to get an initiative on the ballot that would raise the wages of tipped workers. They soured on West’s candidacy when they read that Republican-aligned operatives were working to get him on the ballot to play spoiler.

“We weren’t for the Republican griminess, so we stopped pushing him,” she said.

Her former employer, a signature gathering contractor called Wells Marketing, a mysterious Missouri limited liability company, is leading the effort to get West on the ballot in Arizona. The company did not respond to a message seeking comment at a phone number listed for it.

Looks like people are starting to trickle out of the Wilkes-Barre Trump rally as he goes past the hour mark. There appears to be more empty seats.

Kadyrov said he received a Tesla Cybertrack from Elon Musk. He promised to send it to the "special military operation" zone and attached a machine gun to it.

"Elon, thank you! Come to Grozny, I will receive you as the most dear guest! I do not think that our Russian MFA will be against such a trip. And, of course, we are waiting for your new developments that will contribute to the completion of the SMO," Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.

Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov has posted a video on social media showing off his new cybertruck. He claims that it was a gift directly from Elon Musk and vows to send the "cyberbeast" into battle against Ukraine.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is branching out this week and holding his first solo events as Vice President Kamala Harris ' running mate, making a five-state dash for campaign cash and addressing a key union gathering.

Walz will speak Tuesday at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees convention in Los Angeles...

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A judge ruled Monday that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely claimed a New York residence on nominating petitions, invalidating the documents he needs to appear on the ballot in the state.

The ruling from Justice Christina Ryba after a short trial in state court is expected to be appealed.
