NPR Politics presents the Lunchbox List: our favorite campaign news and stories curated from NPR and around the Web in digestible bites (100 words or less!). Look for it every weekday afternoon from now until the conventions.

Convention Countdown

The Republican National Convention is in 6 days in Cleveland.

The Democratic National Convention is in 13 days in Philadelphia.

Did you know? While the Secret Service has forbidden guns inside the RNC, as reported in March, Ohio state law requires Cleveland authorities to allow guns to be carried in the area around the convention center, despite concerns of violence from the expected heavy protests.
