At home, might be running things (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in power

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'running things' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'at home might' is the wordplay.
'at home' becomes 'in' (similar in meaning).
'might' becomes 'power' (synonyms).
'in'+'power'='IN POWER'

'be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in power that I've seen before include "Having charge or control" , "Being the government" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
