Progressives launch effort to urge Rep. Ro Khanna to run for president in 2028

Progressive Democrats aligned with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California) are teaming up to launch a committee to urge him to run for president in the 2028 election.

Former congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-New York) and progressive activist Nomiki Konst are leading the draft committee named “Run Ro,” which aims to build support around the congressman who represents a district in Silicon Valley. NBC News was the first to report on the committee.
