Rep. Ro Khanna, a leading progressive Democrat, said Sunday that he will not enter the primary to replace retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) of California, and will instead support another candidate, Rep. Barbara Lee.
When CNN host Jake Tapper asked Khanna if he thought Schiff was a progressive, Khanna replied, “I’m glad that he is now for Medicare-for-all and some of the progressive policies.” Khanna is a deputy whip of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and Lee is a member and former chair; Porter is also a member, while Schiff applied to join the caucus but then withdrew. “If he wants to join, that’s great,” Khanna said.
“We don’t have a single African American woman in the United States Senate,” Khanna said. “She would fill that role. She’ll be the only candidate from Northern California.” Khanna added that he thought Lee could consolidate the backing of progressives in the state. “The other two are formidable candidates. But I think Barbara Lee is going to be very, very strong,” Khanna said.
