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.
