California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna is paying political consultants in the early presidential nominating states, which some say is a sign of a possible White House run.
Hegseth on President Biden re-election bid: Neither his capabilities nor his record give any comfort to Democrats
"He's clearly exploring the possibility of running for president at some point," said Brad Bannon, a Democratic political strategist who has worked on multiple high-profile campaigns."It might not be in 2024, but he's young and has time to prepare and meet people. Plus, we live in a very volatile political climate. You never know what can happen."
"Hiring a consultant doesn't always mean you're running," said Bannon."But it usually means you're at least interested in seeing what the process looks like. A consultant provides introductions to potential staffers and special interest groups that usually form the nucleus of a campaign." Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., gestures as he addresses a rally Feb. 27, 2020, in Richmond, Va.
Earlier this year, the California Democrat began paying Iowa-based Sage Strategies for political consulting. The relationship appears to be ongoing as Khanna paid the firm $4,000 in July.Khanna's hiring spree comes as Biden, who turns 80 next month, has prompted questions about his appetite for re-election. Biden told CBS News last month"it’s much too early" to talk about launching a re-election bid.
