WASHINGTON — As House members return to Washington on Tuesday after a weeklong recess, progressives are looking toward how to recover from recent defeats.
Senate Republicans blocked Democrats from passing a pair of voting rights bills, and two Democratic senators joined every Republican in a vote to preserve the chamber's filibuster rules. A month earlier, Democrats acknowledged the collapse of President Joe Biden's $1.7 trillion spending bill.
In a recent interview, Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., talked about how progressives view Biden's presidency one year in, how Democrats should talk about the economy, what his competition bill the House is poised to take up this month will do and what to expect in his upcoming book.
