Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi is a Democrat from Schaumburg, Illinois. He represents the 8th district, which takes in some of Chicago’s northwestern suburbs.
US Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi joins us on the 21st today. He represents the 8th district, and is also the top Democrat on the U.S. House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States & the Chinese Communist Party.
We'll start our conversation off by focusing on Isreal and Gaza, and hearing from Krishnamoorthi on how he thinks of the matter.
After, we'll focus on China, and discuss why Krishnamoorthi voted in favor of banning TikTok, and what he believes the masses don't know in terms of data privacy.
We'll close off our conversation by looking at the recent attempt to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson from his post, and look ahead to possible threats to our democracy due to upcoming elections.
