- This week on "The Issue Is," a pair of interviews with two of the highest-ranking lawmakers in the nation.
First, Elex Michaelson is joined in studio by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
Jeffries assumed the role of House Minority Leader early in 2023, succeeding long-time leader Nancy Pelosi. Since then, following the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as well as a few mid-session retirements, House Republicans have seen their razor-thin majority shrink to just a couple seats, putting Jeffries ever closer to taking the Speakership for himself.
Jeffries discusses the pathway to a Democratic House Majority with Michaelson, and California's importance in that quest. He also discusses the unfolding situation in Israel, on a week where Senate Majority Leader Schumer (D-NY) called for new leadership in that country, funding for Ukraine, prospects for 2024, his upbringing, and his admiration for The Notorious B.I.G..
