This week on Nola Haynes Is Not A Spy, Dr. Nola Haynes sits down with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries for a conversation that goes far beyond politics. Before discussing Congress, Iran, and the midterms, Jeffries reflects on growing up in Crown Heights during hip-hop's golden era, the lessons he learned from The Notorious B.I.G., and why Brooklyn continues to shape the leader he is today.
They dive into the political consequences of America's involvement in Iran, why affordability has become the defining issue for voters, the future of the Democratic coalition following recent political shifts in New York, and what priorities would define a Jeffries speakership.
