Coleman Challenges Ro Khanna on Israel, the Progressive Left—and 2028
""Yes, I would. Uh and I come from a view of restraint.""
Pressed on presidents using force without congressional approval, Ro Khanna says he would seek authorisation and argues his record shows a consistent “restraint” approach, including criticism of Obama’s Libya intervention and Biden’s strikes on the Houthis. He concedes any president faces “enormous pressures” once in office, but says the country should “try someone” with a restrained temperament.
