He has conducted exclusive interviews with President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, among many other high-ranking federal and state officials.

Outside the newsroom, you can find Jonah struggling to remain a fan of Philadelphia sports teams, playing ice hockey, or chanting and leading music at area synagogues (he's a son of two rabbis!). Jonah lives in the Minneapolis area with his wife and three daughters.
