Trump Says Putin Will Not Be Attacking NATO Territory | Balance of Power 08/27/2026

"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Jessica Taylor, Senate and Governors Editor at the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, says public and private polling shows the Texas Senate race essentially tied, with Ken Paxton's political and personal baggage helping put the state in play for Democrats. Former US Ambassador to NATO Ivo Daalder says the Trump administration lacks a concerted strategy to pressure Russia into negotiations, arguing Washington needs to combine continued military support for Ukraine with stronger economic pressure and diplomacy. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller says President Trump's push to bring in more foreign beef is hurting US ranchers and could cost Republicans support in the midterm elections.
