"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Jack Lew, former US Ambassador to Israel under President Joe Biden, says pushing Iran to "zero enrichment" would be a step beyond the 2015 nuclear deal, while emphasizing the need for strict monitoring and removal of enriched uranium. Marc Short, former Chief of Staff to Vice President Mike Pence and now Chairman of Advancing American Freedom, says heavy Republican spending against fellow GOP candidates could "demoralize" voters and backfire in November, as members grow increasingly fearful of crossing President Trump.
