Clearly, Ro has changed his stance based on pressure from the party.
“Nicole has every right to be on the ticket,” Khanna posted. “My point to her both publicly and privately has been that RFK’s ticket threatens the very issues she cares about — such as climate and abortion rights.” “But I would hope you might consider joining the Biden efforts at some point to do and push for bold things on regenerative agriculture and climate,” Khanna’s text continued. “Let’s keep the lines of communication and dialogue open. Warmly, Ro.”
