加州众议员卡纳盟友成立「Run Ro」劝进委员会：为他角逐2028年总统提名铺路
加州民主党籍联邦众议员罗·卡纳（Ro Khanna）的盟友近日成立一个名为「Run Ro」的劝进委员会，为他角逐2028年民主党总统提名提前铺路。该委员会由前纽约州联邦众议员贾马尔·鲍曼（Jamaal Bowman）与进步派策略师诺米基·康斯特（Nomiki Konst）共同担任主席，可在卡纳本人作出决定之前先行募款、组织支持力量。
卡纳尚未宣布参选总统，目前也还没有任何人正式宣布角逐2028年民主党总统提名。康斯特对 NBC 新闻表示：「现在就启动，是要确保总统初选的辩论从一开始就以进步派民粹主义的视角展开。」鲍曼称，提前组织是吸取了以往初选的教训，避免进步派候选人落后于资金更雄厚的建制派对手。
卡纳本人对这一劝进行动表示欢迎。他说：「有人鼓励我以全民医保、结束海外战争和向亿万富翁征税为纲领参选，我深感荣幸。我们需要美国的下一个『新政』。至于是我亲自参选还是支持别人，我会与家人在假期之后再作决定。」
据 Politico 查阅竞选财务申报，卡纳本选举周期已从其国会竞选账户支出至少60万美元，用于在内华达州、南卡罗来纳州与新罕布什尔州等初选提前投票州布局，包括差旅与向当地教会、政治团体捐款；过去两年他约十余次前往这些州，其在当地的团队成员包括曾任伯尼·桑德斯新罕布什尔州竞选主任的香农·杰克逊（Shannon Jackson）与在南卡罗来纳州的阿伦·格林（Aaron Greene）。他仅在9月17日一天就支出近4万美元，向新罕布什尔州两场国会竞选购入名单。
卡纳代表硅谷所在的加州第17国会选区，已连任五届众议员，曾任桑德斯2020年总统竞选的共同主席。此次劝进委员会在中期选举数日后推出：民主党在此次中期选举中重新夺得国会参众两院多数，党内对2028年由谁接棒出战总统大选的讨论随之升温。

Allies of California Rep. Ro Khanna Launch 'Run Ro' Draft Committee to Lay Groundwork for a 2028 Presidential Bid
Allies of Rep. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, have launched a draft committee called "Run Ro" to lay the groundwork for a possible run for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. The committee is co-chaired by former Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York and progressive strategist Nomiki Konst, and it can raise money and build support while Khanna himself continues to weigh a White House bid.
Khanna has not announced a presidential bid, and no candidate has yet formally entered the race for the 2028 Democratic nomination. "By launching now, we are trying to ensure that the presidential primary debate is framed from a progressive populist perspective," Konst told NBC News. Bowman said the early organizing effort draws on lessons from past primaries and is meant to keep progressive candidates from falling behind better-funded establishment contenders.
Khanna welcomed the effort. "I'm honored that people are encouraging me to run on a platform of Medicare for All, ending foreign wars and taxing the billionaires," he said. "We need America's Next New Deal. Whether I run or support someone else is something I will decide with my family after the holidays."
According to finance filings reviewed by Politico, Khanna has spent at least $600,000 from his congressional campaign account this cycle in the early primary states of Nevada, South Carolina and New Hampshire, including travel and donations to local churches and political groups. He has made roughly a dozen trips to those states over the past two years, and his team on the ground includes Shannon Jackson, who served as Bernie Sanders's New Hampshire state director, and Aaron Greene in South Carolina. On a single day, September 17, he spent nearly $40,000 acquiring lists from two New Hampshire congressional campaigns.
Khanna, a five-term congressman representing California's 17th District in Silicon Valley, co-chaired Bernie Sanders's 2020 presidential campaign. The draft committee's launch comes days after midterm elections that returned Democrats to power in both the House and the Senate, intensifying the party's search for its 2028 presidential standard-bearer.
