California Dem Ro Khanna Being Prepped for 2028 Presidential Run by Biden’s Chief of Staff
Breitbart ^ | 06/09/2026 | Olivia Rondeau

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) is reportedly being prepared to run for president in 2028 by former President Joe Biden’s chief of staff, who also worked with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra on their respective campaigns.

Sources familiar with the matter told Politico’s Playbook this week that Khanna has caught the attention of Ron Klain, an attorney who was an appointee of former President Barack Obama as the White House Ebola Response Coordinator.

Klain, who was named Biden’s chief of staff after working as a senior adviser on his 2020 campaign, is now a chief legal officer at Airbnb, while “using his personal time” to advise Khanna “as he prepares for a possible 2028 presidential bid,” the outlet reported.

Khanna announced while speaking with left-wing activist Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network Conference in April. that he would “consider” a run after the November midterm elections.

The progressive congressman has championed progressive causes like recently calling to “tear down” U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) and speaking out against the Republicans’ Laken Riley Act.

Klain was seen as the far-left faction of the Democrat Party’s way to wield more power in the Biden administration, with him telling the Daily Beast in 2021, “Progressives are a big part of our party and making sure their voices are heard here at the White House is a big part of my job.”

In 2022, the following headline graced Politico’s website: “Progressives, once skeptical of Biden, rally around his chief of staff.”

“Once-sidelined liberals see Ron Klain as a critical conduit between them and the West Wing,” the subhead reads.

The outlet’s latest article also revealed that the personal political activities since he left Biden’s orbit are “far more significant and sweeping than previously known.”

Will Massie supporters here line up behind Ro’s candidacy?

They are allies, after all.

If solely the Left Coast could vote he’d win. He’s not going to sell anywhere else because he’s a complete America hating communist lunatic.

There you go they are at it again.
Serve up some hyped up unknown with bleached made up origins, lavish on plenty of fake news embelishments and we have another overnight sensation¿
Do not be fooled fools again, some will, trinketed in slavery.

“President Joe Biden’s chief of staff” was managing Biden for whomever was the real acting President.

“Ro Khanna” - A left coast politician. And I was thinking it was some sort of horrible intestinal condition.

Of course, Dems can vote for whoever they want, so can I & I wouldn’t vote for that joker no matter what. I’d certainly vote for a third term for Trump, but guess it would have to be write-in. Now, if Calif. was in sore need for a dog catcher, then Ro Khanna might fill the bill. It’s high time they voted for somebody respectful for the position of President & somebody & someone who knew what they were doing in regards to our country’s leader. In other words, not a Democrat.

Ro Khanna talks of unifying the country. He can’t do it & that should be obvious to even the dumbest democrat. Even Ro himself must know this. Being prepped by Biden’s chief of staff?....there’s a mistake all in itself. Having him for prez is total insanity.
