Allies of Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna have launched an initiative to encourage him to run for US president in 2028. The 'Run Ro' initiative, led by former Democratic Congressman Jamaal Bowman and progressive strategist Nomiki Konst, aims to raise funds and build support while Khanna considers his political future. Khanna, who has not announced a presidential bid, said he would decide with his family after the holidays whether to contest or support another candidate. The initiative was announced two days after the US midterm elections. Khanna has visited states that vote early in the presidential nomination process. In a separate development, Khanna condemned 'Hindu nationalism' and expressed support for student demonstrators protesting against corruption and advocating for inclusion.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has dismissed reports that he could leave the Trump administration to prepare for a presidential bid. Rubio told The New York Times that he planned to work for President Donald Trump until the end of his term.
