Ron Klain Reportedly Advising Rep. Ro Khanna on Potential 2028 Presidential Run
Former Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain is reportedly advising Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) as he considers a 2028 presidential run, according to Politico reporting. Klain, now Airbnb's chief legal officer, has been advising multiple Democratic candidates and officials on their campaigns and political activities. The development reflects ongoing influence by Biden administration figures in shaping Democratic Party politics.
According to Politico's reporting, Ron Klain, who served as President Biden's chief of staff and is now chief legal officer at Airbnb, is advising Rep. Ro Khanna on a potential 2028 presidential campaign. Klain previously worked on Biden's 2020 campaign and was known as a key liaison between the White House and progressive Democrats. Beyond Khanna, Klain has reportedly been involved in advising multiple Democratic candidates and officials, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra, and Senator Ed Markey on his reelection campaign. Khanna, a progressive congressman from California, indicated in April that he would consider a presidential run after the 2024 midterm elections. Klain declined to comment on his political activities, stating he prefers to keep them low-key.
