Ro Khanna faces primary challenge, Silicon Valley backlash over wealth tax

Representative Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) is facing a primary challenge from tech entrepreneur Ethan Agarwal, who is capitalizing on Silicon Valley's disapproval of Khanna. This opposition stems from Khanna's vocal support for a controversial California wealth tax. Agarwal, who previously ran for California governor, launched his challenge last week. The contest highlights growing friction between progressive Democratic policies and key segments of the tech industry, potentially impacting future legislative debates on taxation.
