Closing summary
Mike Pence’s visit to New Hampshire has added to speculation that he may be mulling a presidential run in 2024.

- A poll from Wisconsin indicates Democrats may have momentum in the state’s Senate race, though the contest for the governorship appears to be tightening.
- Rudy Giuliani has appeared before a special grand jury in Atlanta that is investigating attempts to meddle with the state’s election results in 2020. He has been told he is a target of the investigation.
