Khanna: ‘Progressive movement is on the ascendancy’

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) highlighted the rising influence of the progressive movement, citing recent left-wing victories across the nation. During an appearance on CNN, he praised New York Assemblywoman Claire Valdez, projecting her as the winner of the Democratic nomination for New York’s 7th Congressional District, as a "phenomenal candidate." This surge in progressive wins suggests a growing momentum within the Democratic Party, reflecting a shift towards more left-leaning policies and candidates. Khanna's comments underscore the movement's increasing significance in shaping the party's future direction.
