Jaden Jefferson Reports
I'm a 17-year-old journalist covering local, state, and national headlines from Toledo, Ohio. Welcome to my channel!
My journey to becoming an award-winning, nationally-recognized reporter/anchor began in 2019, with coverage of events in my hometown. That same year, I had my "big break" — an interview with presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren.
It was followed by appearances on CBS This Morning, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, as well as write-ups in The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Root, and many others. And soon after, I made the first of many appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, interviewing influential celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt, Naomi Osaka, Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet, and in 2022, Ellen herself, as part of her final season.
I've also been featured on the nationally-syndicated Live with Kelly and Mark, reported for the Sky News young adult show 'FYI' in the U.K., and hosted on local radio.
With that, buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Watch ▶️ While more progressive candidates may see success in primaries, they can sometimes struggle in general elections. So which should Democrats prioritize in 2026: progressivism, or at the risk of their base's enthusiasm, a moderate direction? I asked Dr. Melissa Miller, professor of political science at Bowling Green State University.↴ https://youtu.be/ctPoUry3uGM?si=f4OT8...

For a 'blue wave' in 2026, Democrats "would need to make inroads in formerly purple states such as Ohio and Iowa," reads an opinion piece for The Hill, co-authored by Dr. Melissa Miller — a professor of political science at Bowling Green State University — and her colleague, Dr. Robert Alexander.
Thursday, I sat down for a one-on-one interview with Dr. Miller, to discuss the data underlying the piece, discontent with the Trump economy, Democrats' moderate vs. progressive direction dilemma, and next year's U.S. Senate races. ➡️ https://youtu.be/CtFwqkS0p0I?si=Xovow...
