Khanna’s fans also see another asset — he’s a progressive who does not turn off more establishment and moderate elements of the party. It’s an important quality after 2020, when Democratic officials mobilized to stop Sanders from winning the presidential nomination following his success in early-voting states.
Unlike some other high-profile progressives, Khanna’s style has been less combative and more aimed at building relationships with other parts of the Democratic Party. In perhaps an extreme example, in the 2018 primary, Khanna endorsed both then-Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.) and the left-wing challenger who defeated him, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Bernie was the compromise candidate. Khanna would be the compromised candidate.
