That slight blip was a backlog of suspected deaths on June 26 from New Jersey, about 1,900.

Anyway, it's usually a two to three week lag so you'd be looking at June 27-July 4 for the rise to really begin. Also note that the states that were rising in cases the most (Arizona, Florida, Texas, California, Georgia, etc.) were actually seeing their deaths trend upward by that point. Other states were seeing declining rates so the two factors combined for a period of stability in the trend on the national level.
