Congressman Ro Khanna is one of the most influential progressives inside
the house democratic caucus. He represents California’s 17th district –
a large chunk of Silicon Valley. It’s wealthy, influential and home to
companies like Apple, Intel, and Cisco Systems.

Today, Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza asks Representative Khanna what
went wrong trying to pass Biden’s Build Back Better plan and what he
thinks progressives’ influence on Biden has been. Khanna also suggests
how Democrats can improve their prospects going into the midterms.
