Rep. Ro Khanna Can’t Say Who Is the Leader of the Democratic Party

EXCERPT:

HOST: “And so who would you say is the leader of the Democratic Party right now?”
KHANNA: “Well, the leader in the House of Representatives is Hakeem Jeffries, and he will be the next Speaker of the House. He's earned that role and he --”
HOST: “Do you think he is the voice, though, of the Democratic Party? Like, is that who the Democrats should be rallying around, pushing forward? That's who should be driving the message?”
KHANNA: “Well, I think we've got a whole new generation of talent, people who are speaking out on economic issues. I gave a speech in Cleveland on economic patriotism, our vision of how we're going to bring prosperity and manufacturing back around the country. But the most urgent issue is to stand up against the attacks on the rule of law, on the Constitution, on universities, and then to make sure that we elect Hakeem Jeffries Speaker of the House so we have one check on Donald Trump's unconstitutional actions.”
