After receiving the votes of enough delegates at the Republican National Convention, Trump has been the presumptive nominee for months. But it was the vote of RNC delegates in Milwaukee that made it official. Trump hit the necessary threshold with votes from his home state of Florida. The move comes just minutes after Donald Trump selected Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio as his Republican running mate, M. Haya Pendjwani.

Want a place to stay on the moon? Italian researchers have confirmed a cave on the moon, not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed 55 years ago. In the 1969 moonwalk, Neil Armstrong described the surface of the moon and now a research team from Italy has found evidence of a sizable cave located at the Sea of Tranquility. It's about 250 miles from where Apollo 11 landed. The scientists say the pit was created by the collapse of a lava tube and they estimate it's 130 feet wide and 10 yards long. They also think there are hundreds more caves and tunnels like it, which probably could be used to house future visitors to the moon. I'm Jackie Quinn. And I'm Rita Foley, AP News.
