Washington Sun congressional reporter Stephen Neukam joins The Final 5 with Jim Lokay to lay out the challenges House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries could face in securing the speaker’s gavel if Democrats win the House. Six progressive lawmakers have not committed to backing him, and their influence may depend on the size of the Democratic majority. The conversation also covers the party’s growing confidence ahead of the midterms and divisions over U.S. policy in the Middle East.
