Ro Khanna

Nancy Pelosi endorsed against me three times.

when I ran all three times in California.

California's a machine state, you know?

It's like, you got to know the ends.

I never had anyone there.

I moved there from Pennsylvania.

I was a son of immigrants.

I didn't have wealthy people, parents.

I'm very proud of them.

They have a middle-class life.

And then I ran the second time, lost.

And the third time, I said, okay, I'll try one last time.

And I won.

And you know, every time I go into Congress, it's one of the reasons I think I have a little bit of guts, because I wasn't supposed to get there.

There was not some destiny of, you know, Ro Khanna is going to go become a Congress.

I'm a Hindu faith, Indian American, came from a middle-class background, lost twice before I won.

So every day I was like, I'm going to make the most of it.

Imagine if you try to do something, because it was a miracle that I got to Congress, and I want to change something and do something for the country.

Well, that's the theory that, you know, the Laffer curve of Reagan.

I mean, I disagree with some of it.
