Why it matters: According to the website oddschecker, as of Thursday, the five most likely candidates in order of likeliness for the role are male—South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Ben Carson, the secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 2017 to 2021. Trump has yet to announce his choice for running mate.

Nuclear-Armed North Korea Issues New Threat

TL/DR: Researchers at the Federation of American Scientists estimate North Korea has 50 warheads in its nuclear stockpile, compared to 500 in China, 5,580 in Russia, and 5,044 in the United States.

Pyongyang issued a strongly-worded warning on Monday through its supreme leader's powerful sister, after North Korea sent hundreds of trash-carrying balloons into the South's airspace and Seoul responded by resuming propaganda broadcasts at the border.

Why it matters: South Korea said the number of balloons detected in its territory now numbered more than 1,600 since May 28, including 310 over the weekend, according to its Joint Chiefs of Staff. Kim Yo Jong, 36, the younger sister of Kim Jong Un, said the move—involving a purported 1,400 balloons carrying 7.5 tons of waste—was in retaliation for anti-North Korea leaflets sent last week by rights activists and defectors in the South. South Korea's military on Monday reported signs that the North was installing its own loudspeakers in the region.
