AINews Summary

The biggest new item is a June poll showing the Ohio governor race tied between Amy Acton and Vivek Ramaswamy. Both parties have already settled on their nominees, and recent coverage has not reported a major new shift in the contest. The tied poll suggests a competitive race and keeps uncertainty high. The nomination results are already baked in, so the main market driver remains general-election polling.
