Fri, Jan 29, 2021 3:00 PM
The Atlantic Council’s New American Engagement Initiative presents a conversation featuring Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA 17th District) in discussion with Vox’s Jen Kirby.
Friday, January 29, from 3:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. EST for an event featuring Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA 17th District) in conversation with
