Democratic Socialist Wins Upset in FL Senate Primary | Balance of Power: Late Edition 08/19/2026

"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Democratic Representative Suhas Subramanyam of Virginia says he opposes more data centers in his district, arguing that development has created power and environmental problems and driven up some residents' utility bills. Jason Furman, former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama, says higher interest rates are "likely here to stay" as government and businesses compete for capital, with US national debt surpassing $40 trillion.
