Cheney, Powell, Palin to talk on Sunday shows


WASHINGTON — The 2016 presidential campaign, the nuclear deal with Iran and the migrant crisis in Europe are among the topics on the Sunday talk shows this Labor Day weekend.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, Liz Cheney, will be on Fox News Sunday to discuss the Iran nuclear deal now that President Obama has secured enough votes in the Senate to stop an effort to kill the deal. The same show will include interviews with police chiefs in Philadelphia and Milwaukee about violent crime.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a retired Army general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will be on NBC's Meet the Press.

Three of the Republicans running for president are making appearances: Carly Fiorina on Face the Nation, and Mike Huckabee and Gov. John Kasich on This Week. Fiorina is expected to benefit from a change in the rules to determine which Republican candidates appear in the next prime-time presidential debate Sept. 16.

Former GOP candidates are also on the guest lists, including Newt Gingrich on CBS and Sarah Palin on CNN.

Europe’s efforts to address the flood of migrants and refugees will be a topic on ABC with David Miliband, who runs the International Rescue Committee, which oversees humanitarian relief in more than 30 countries.
