Ro Khanna on How Democrats Can Win Without Becoming Trump

Description

Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) joins Chris Cuomo to lay out what he believes is the strongest path forward for Democrats—one that centers affordability, health care, wages, and jobs instead of endless outrage over Donald Trump. Khanna explains why letting Affordable Care Act subsidies expire would hurt millions of Americans, how Medicare for All could reduce costs by cutting middlemen and negotiating prices, and why Democrats lose credibility when they campaign against Trump without offering a substantive economic alternative.

Cuomo and Khanna debate whether outrage-driven politics actually wins elections, the influence of corporate money and PACs, the decline of unions, and why Democrats risk becoming defined solely in opposition to Trump. They also tackle foreign policy flashpoints—from Venezuela to Gaza—faith and extremism, and what Khanna calls a “new economic patriotism” aimed at restoring the American Dream before the 2026 midterms.
