Rep. Ro Khanna said he has not ruled out running for president in 2028, calling the choice a family decision. He also outlined economic, immigration, technology and foreign-policy issues he wants in the election debate.
During a discussion with former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, Khanna said a presidential run would be a family decision and estimated that about 20 Democrats were considering entering the race. He said he would remain involved in the debate whether he ran or supported another candidate, but did not declare his candidacy.
Khanna argued that Democrats should address the economic future of communities that have lost industrial jobs and connect that concern to immigration and investment. He also called for workers to have a stronger role in decisions about artificial intelligence and said the United States needs a foreign policy that can rebuild trust with other countries.
