House Oversight Committee member Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., tells ‘America Reports’ he believes Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss will come up with a ‘fair assessment.’, would not be the best choice for Democrats to nominate for president.
"I think we'd have a lot of other contenders," Khanna said."I think you’d have people like [Pennsylvania Gov. Josh] Shapiro and others would be better candidates, potentially, in the Midwest. And I think Biden is a stronger candidate in Ohio, in Michigan, in Wisconsin and in large parts of the country."Newsom is not, at least not on paper. And he's officially supporting Biden for re-election.
"I would consider the governor, but I think you’d have other stronger candidates in the Midwest. I don’t, I think the key is who’s going to win Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio. And I think it’s going to take someone who can connect in those places," he said. However, Khanna ruled out the possibility Biden declines to run in 2024.
