Who Will Inherit the MAGA Movement in 2028? | Balance of Power: 08/06/2026

"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. Republican Senator Kevin Cramer of North Dakota says lawmakers’ first priority is passing a continuing resolution to fund the government through December 11. On Republican holdouts over Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general, Cramer says he is hopeful President Donald Trump could weigh in and persuade them to support his nominee. House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA) says progressive Abdul Ed-Sayed’s win in Michigan is a signal that voters are looking for "fighters" who will stand up for them in Congress.
