After almost a decade covering news and politics in New York, Hayley Jones decided winter is quite bad and moved back to California to work for Crooked Media’s Pod Save America. While in the Big Apple she lent her skills to 60 Minutes, VICE News, Billboard, the Daily Beast, the New Republic and NBCUniversal. She has covered a wide array of topics including American politics, the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests, and the 2016, 2020 and 2024 United States presidential elections. Hayley also interviewed the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates at the Brown and Black Forum in Iowa.

In addition, Hayley has worked with political pundit and veteran television journalist Jeff Greenfield, and PEN Award-winning author Ann Louise Bardach.
