Why did House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries come to Omaha just days before Election Day?
Because Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District could help determine who controls Congress.
On this special edition of The Dan Parsons Show, we take you inside Jeffries’ Omaha campaign appearance with Democrat Denise Powell, who’s battling Republican Brinker Harding for the seat being vacated by Congressman Don Bacon.
I was there for the rally and press availability, where Jeffries laid out his priorities for a Democratic-controlled House and Powell faced questions about whether she’d be willing to stand up to her own party.
I also sit down one-on-one with Powell for a candid conversation just days before Nov 3.
We’ve repeatedly invited Brinker Harding to appear on the show for more than a year. His campaign has declined. Our invitation remains open.
With Election Day just around the corner, this is one of the most closely watched congressional contests in the country.
