MUNCIE, Ind. — An episode of "The Daily Show" featuring congressional candidate Jeannine Lee Lake has made its way to television.

Lake is the Democratic candidate running against Republican Greg Pence, Vice President Mike Pence's older brother, in Indiana's Sixth Congressional District race. She was featured in Wednesday's episode of Comedy Central's late-night news satire program. The segment titled "Black Girl Midterm Magic" was filmed when Daily Show correspondent Dulce Sloan visited Muncie in September.

The episode addresses how black women have strongly supported Democrats in elections but how Lake has had to fight for funding from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). Lake said she hasn't received a response from the organization.

Sloan also interviewed Steve Israel, former chairman of the DCCC, who said in the clip that the DCCC must put money in races that are competitive and "winnable."

When Sloan brings this up to Lake later in the segment, she responds, "They haven't met Jeannine Lee Lake, because if they had met Jeannine Lee Lake, they would know we can win."

Dulce Sloan ended the segment noting that Lake might not win, but if there is anyone who could flip this "MAGA-hat red, mayonnaise white, Bud Light blue district," it's her. So, Sloan gets Lake that response. (Well, from Israel at least.)

Lake recently gained attention for bringing famous Ball State alumnus David Letterman to her house for a campaign fundraiser in September. She granted the Star Press exclusive access to the event.

The Star Press has attempted to reach Greg Pence for an interview, both before and after the primary election in May, but Pence has dodged debates and avoided interviews with media outlets, and the Star Press has been unable to get in touch with Pence's communications director.
