Overview
- Khanna, in a video on X on Tuesday, praised Trump’s Iran ceasefire and credited public pressure from progressives and anti-war conservatives before calling for an “anti-Epstein class, anti-war, pro–working class” movement.
- Greene replied on X on Thursday that she supports starting talks on a right–left populist coalition and warned that party power brokers would try to block it.
- Khanna responded Thursday evening thanking Greene, outlined his “New Economic Patriotism,” and said he would work across party lines despite disagreements, adding, “I am game.”
- Both describe the idea as a cross-partisan or “America First” effort focused on ending wars and holding well-connected elites linked to Jeffrey Epstein accountable, with no formal plan or platform announced.
- Past overlap includes Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie urging release of Epstein-related files, while Greene’s recent break with Trump and GOP leaders helps explain her openness to talks.
