<p>John Chang interviews the commercial real estate market itself as he breaks down how healthcare hiring is propping up national job growth while most other sectors soften, and why that makes medical office one of the strongest asset classes going forward.

From there, they turn to South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace, who’s taking aim at her own party’s leadership for sidelining rank-and-file members — especi...
