Representative Ro Khanna of California is campaigning across the Rust Belt to advance his "New Economic Patriotism" economic platform. He is visiting steel mills, factories and farms throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. The House China select committee's top Democrat is testing his message as he considers a 2028 presidential run. Khanna told reporters he believes he possesses the right economic vision for the nation, though remains undecided whether to back another candidate or pursue the presidency himself.
