I used to watch Ro Khanna on the news and thought he was one of the reasonable Democrats, sort of like John Fetterman. But recently, over the past year or so, he has taken a hard left, joining the Pied Piper of the progressives. His interviews are now out of touch, and that is exactly what he has to do if he wants to run in 2028.
The Democratic Party of old no longer exists and has been taken over by the radicals, Bernie, AOC, Mamdani, Warren and others. These same folks are all rich, get that and act as if they are part of the poor, laughing all the way to the bank. Good ole Bernie now has multiple homes at costs none of us could afford. Funny how he never talks about his own wealth, only that of others. All IMO.
“Critics say Mr. Khanna’s national ambitions are eclipsing his view of his district. Ethan Agarwal, who is challenging him in the June 2 jungle primary, said the congressman has neglected his constituents in pursuit of higher office.
“It’s an open secret in Silicon Valley that Ro Khanna has been far more focused on his 2028 presidential ambitions and completely neglected the people of California’s 17th District,” Mr. Agarwal said. “While families here are worried about affordability, public safety, education, and the future of Silicon Valley, Ro is chasing cable news hits and building a national progressive brand that is completely out of step with this district.”
He also questioned Mr. Khanna’s stock-trading record, arguing that it undermines his populist pitch.
“After trading hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks while in office, with access to information ordinary investors will never have, it is hard to take seriously his claims that he is fighting for working families,” Mr. Agarwal said.
“If AOC is the new Bernie, then he is the new Elizabeth Warren,” said Rob Stutzman, a California-based Republican strategist. “Being the new Warren still gets you in the game. It is better than being the new Jerry Nadler.”
