California Rep. Ro Khanna is one of the Democratic Party\u2019s key progressive voices, but he has no problem picking fights with his fellow Democrats or aligning himself with conservatives when he sees common ground. <\/p>\n
\u201cI’m kind of blunt-spoken. I say what’s on my mind,\u201d he tells POLITICO\u2019s Dasha Burns. <\/p>\n
In this week\u2019s episode, Khanna lays out his concerns about the U.S. getting involved in the Israel-Iran conflict, why he thinks Democrats lost voters to Trump and how he thinks the party can win them back. \u201cI actually think that at the end of Trumpism, this country is going to be exhausted by the bombast,\u201d he tells Burns. \u201cI think we need to offer a substantive vision for the country and to elevate the American debate.\u201d (Note: This interview was conducted prior to Trump\u2019s announcement on Saturday evening that the U.S. bombed three Iranian nuclear sites<\/a>. Here<\/a> is Rep. Khanna\u2019s response to this announcement.)<\/p>\n Plus, senior politics editor Sally Goldenberg joins Burns to discuss the crowded, chaotic New York City primary mayoral race and its national implications for the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n Listen and subscribe to The Conversation with Dasha Burns on YouTube<\/a>, Apple Podcasts<\/a>, Spotify<\/a> or wherever you get your podcasts.<\/p>\n
