Rep. Ro Khanna: Green New Deal ‘Is About Job Growth in the Fastest Growing Industries’

‘When people look at the substance, they’ll see it as a winner for Democrats’

EXCERPT:

KHANNA: "I don’t think the attacks are going to work. When you go and say, 'Here’s what the Green New Deal means to GM workers. If you lost your jobs in those GM factories that closed and you have an electric vehicle tax credit, you’ll get to go back to work because you’ll be able to make SUVs that are electric.' And if you talk to people at GM or Ford or Tesla, they’ll tell you those are going to bring back good union jobs and they'll bring back jobs in Ohio and Michigan. I welcome that debate with the President. So I think as the details emerge that this is about job growth and the fastest growing industries, I think this is a winning issue for Democrats. And the polls show that. What happened is there’s been a lot of rumors and there was the mistake of the initial rollout. But when people look at the actually substance, they’ll see this as a winner for Democrats."
