Ro Khanna calls on Democrats to reclaim identity as ‘the anti-war party’

We should be the party of peace abroad, good jobs at home. Donald Trump took that from us,' says congressman

In the days since Donald Trump authorized strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, and then forged a shaky ceasefire agreement, Congressman Ro Khanna has called on Democrats to reclaim a political identity he says they lost: being the party of peace.

Now is the time for the Democratic party to be the anti-war party - the party against wars of choice," Khanna said in an interview. We should be the party of peace abroad, good jobs at home. Donald Trump took that from us in 2016 and 2024 and my leadership this past week has been trying to reclaim the anti-war mantle."
