Ro Khanna Endorses Barbara Lee's Senate Campaign and Declines to Run for California Senate Seat

Rep. Ro Khanna has announced that he will not run for the Senate seat of retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein and will instead endorse Rep. Barbara Lee. Khanna will be a co-chair of Lee's campaign, stating that "we need a strong anti-war senator, and she will play that role." Lee has been in the House since 1998 and has a long history of speaking out against military force. Khanna also noted that Lee would be the only African American woman in the Senate and would consolidate a lot of progressives.
