"Balance of Power" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Celinda Lake, founder of Lake Research and a Democratic pollster whose firm has done polling for Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate campaign, says Republicans are in deep trouble, but Democrats have a lot to prove. Evelyn Farkas, McCain Institute executive director and former deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, says it’s a moral problem for the US that Starlink speeds were slowed while Ukrainians were trying to intercept missiles and drones targeting civilians. Aaron Lehman, president of the Iowa Farmers Union and fifth-generation farmer in Polk County, Iowa, says both diesel prices and tariffs have been devastating for farmers.
