How might Lindsey Graham's death change US foreign policy and the GOP's approach to international issues?

The death of Senator Lindsey Graham leaves key US allies like Ukraine, which have at times struggled to influence the Trump administration, without one of their most effective conduits to the White House. Rebeccah Heinrichs, senior fellow at Hudson Institute, joined Balance of Power and said there's momentum for Congress to pass a Russia sanctions bill that had been championed by Senator Lindsey Graham.

What should the U.S. approach be toward Iran after the ceasefire announcement?

President Trump on Wednesday declared the ceasefire with Iran over and that while negotiations can continue, they are a "waste of time." Why it matters: Three weeks after the U.S. and Iran signed a peace deal that Trump described as "unconditional surrender," both sides are launching fresh attacks and any sense of calm in the region has evaporated almost entirely. Driving the news: The comments came just hours after the U.S. conducted a new round of strikes on Iran, retaliation for renewed Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. What they're saying: "I think it's over," Trump said when asked about the ceasefire at the NATO summit in Turkey. "I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum," Trump said."As far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time dealing with them." By the numbers: The price of oil skyrocketed after Trump's comments, with the global benchmark Brent crude jumping 6% to nearly $79 in morning trading. At those levels, it's back above pre-war prices after dipping just below.As part of the response to the latest Hormuz attacks, the U.S. also revoked a general license allowing the sale of Iranian oil, throwing more uncertainty into global supply. Editor's note: This is breaking news and will be updated

How should we balance the need for fair voting practices with concerns about election integrity?

What impact could Phil Weiser's primary win have on Colorado's future policies and leadership?

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser won the Democratic nomination for governor Tuesday, defeating U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet in a primary upset that underscored voter frustration with Washington. Why it matters: Democrats have dominated statewide elections for more than a decade, making Weiser the early favorite for November. State of play: The primary was a test of Democrats' appetite for establishment experience versus a more combative state-focused posture. Weiser cast himself as the "fighter" against President Trump, pointing to more than 65 lawsuits his office filed against the administration. By the numbers: Weiser led Bennet 55% to 45%, according to early returns posted by the Secretary of State's Office. AP called the race for Weiser less than an hour after polls closed at 7pm. Between the lines: With little ideological daylight between the candidates, the race hinged on who Democrats trusted most to fight Trump. Bennet entered the race with deep name recognition and even deeper pockets after years in the U.S. Senate and a 2020 presidential campaign.Weiser gained momentum late by shifting to a more progressive posture. What's next: Bennet's loss eliminates the prospect of a closely watched appointment or special election scramble to replace him in the Senate. He has two years left on his current term
