Rep. Ro Khanna traveled to Pennsylvania to hold town halls in Republican-held districts, urging GOP Congressman Ryan Mackenzie to oppose Medicaid cuts proposed by his party. Speaking to liberal audiences, Khanna emphasized the importance of grassroots pressure in protecting essential programs like Medicaid. His proactive approach may also signal aspirations for a presidential run in 2028 as he positions himself within national politics, discussing re-industrialization and engaging with major media outlets for better visibility and relevance.
"I'm here to make sure that we stop it," Khanna said from behind a podium, to cheers. "I want Congressman Mackenzie to oppose those Medicaid cuts."
Khanna plans to do 10 more town halls, stating, "That's the only practical way to stop them," referring to Medicaid cuts.
Political insiders concur that Khanna's cross-country tour may also serve another purpose: testing the waters for a possible run for president in 2028.
He has established himself as a mainstay of national TV news programs and often picks fights with conservative heavyweights such as Vice President JD Vance.
