Summary

Congressman Ro Khanna joins Jess to talk about reclaiming “Drain the Swamp” from the far right, why he thinks Democrats need to refocus on economic leadership, and what it means to be a “pro-growth progressive.” They get into his bipartisan strategy, his not-so-subtle ambitions, and what he’d do if he were at the top of the ticket.
