He's still only the presumptive nominee until July 18. After the RNC conference, then he becomes the official nominee and is entitled to secret service and national security briefings.

Just looked this up and you appear to be correct.
This is from an-exCIA officer.
After the candidate gets officially nominated, they get a general security update.
After the election, the President -elect gets the PDB.
Michael Morell: There is a great deal of confusion about these briefings in the media. After a candidate has been formally nominated by her/his national convention, she/he is offered a one-time intelligence briefing (sometimes over multiple days if there are time constraints or if a candidate wants to go deeper on a particular topic). They do not receive a daily briefing. They do not receive regular update briefings during the campaign. They do not receive the President’s Daily Briefing. Those only come for the president-elect, after the election in November.
Thanks for the clarification. In addition, there was a Feb 5, 2021 article in the New York Times, which said "president biden" would bar his predecessor, Donald J. Trump, from receiving intelligence briefings traditionally given to former presidents. While I doubt President Trump would be interested in a briefing organized by biden or his cronies, it does show the pettiness and lack of character of sleepy joe.
