I’ll say it again: something happened to Ro Khanna in the last year or so, because he used to present himself as a moderate Democrat and made statements along that line. All of a sudden, he changed, and I assume it is because someone was in his ear about running for President in 2028.
That couldn't happen if he stayed a moderate Democrat, because the DSA is leading the charge for now. So, he went rogue and is now sounding like all the other nutjobs promoting that everything is free. All IMO.
“Ro Khanna finally did something worth mentioning. The anti-capitalist congressman from Silicon Valley has dethroned Nancy Pelosi as the most prolific stock trader on Capitol Hill.
Since 2025, Khanna’s family has made roughly 7,200 trades involving stocks and other securities valued at up to $147 million, the New York Times reports. Pelosi, meanwhile, has reported just 17 transactions over that period, involving shares with a maximum value of $84 million.
In other words, an absolute drubbing on Khanna’s part. He came for the queen. He didn’t miss.
Surpassing Pelosi, one of the most successful investors of the modern age thanks to her consistent record of impeccably well-timed trades, is no small feat. It is without question Khanna’s most meaningful achievement since taking office in 2017. His past accomplishments include the following: sponsoring legislation to add a third “unspecified” gender category on U.S. passports, inviting Greta Thunberg to testify in Congress, and feuding with liberal billionaire Mark Cuban, who called Khanna’s wealth tax proposal “insane.”
Khanna is one of the wealthiest members of Congress thanks to his wife, Ritu Ahuja Khanna, the daughter of Cleveland-based auto parts magnate Monte Ahuja. His wife and two children are the beneficiaries of numerous trusts and other tax-advantaged vehicles set up by her father, which Khanna claims are managed “independently” by outside advisers. The Khanna household’s prolific trading is conducted primarily through these entities, which the congressman has criticized for helping rich people shield their fortunes from taxation. He supports a ban on members of Congress trading stocks, provided it does not apply to family trusts.
Because members of Congress are not required to disclose the precise value of their financial holdings, it is difficult to estimate the Khanna family’s net worth. Their disclosed assets are valued at between $103 million to more than $340 million, but their actual value could be significantly higher. For example, Khanna listed multiple assets held by his wife and young children—who personally own stakes in 3 golf clubs and a $65 billion investment firm—as being worth more than $1 million without specifying an upper limit.”
