Can Democrats deliver real change while Silicon Valley keeps creating wealth that millions of Americans never see?
U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna joins Bakari Sellers to discuss the future of the Democratic Party, the growing influence of tech billionaires and his potential 2028 presidential ambitions.
Khanna lays out what he wants Democrats to accomplish if they regain control of the House, including a higher minimum wage, affordable child care, health care protections and accountability for Donald Trump. He also makes the case for impeachment, even as Bakari questions whether another attempt would accomplish anything.
They get into the controversy surrounding data centers, how Congress should regulate artificial intelligence and why Khanna believes Black communities should have a greater opportunity to build wealth through technology.
Khanna also shares how his family's history connects to the civil rights movement, why HBCUs are central to his work and what he believes progressives misunderstand about the Black South.
Bakari presses him on the importance of Black voters, divisions within the Democratic Party and what it will take to build a winning coalition in 2028.
And when the conversation turns to his own political future, Khanna makes clear that he's still undecided about running for president.
