Ana continues her conversation with Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal about the growing frustration and distrust within the Democratic Party, including Hakeem Jeffries’ controversial meeting with Jared Kushner.

Jayapal also opens up about her work on immigration, her visits to detention centers, the stories she has heard from detained immigrants, and what she hopes to do if Democrats regain control of the House.
