Indian-origin US Congressman Ro Khanna has suggested that he is “strongly considering” a run for the White House in 2028, with his recent visit to the Israeli-occupied West Bank likely to become a key part of his campaign. Khanna’s remarks came after he said he was detained for nearly 90 minutes by a group of armed Israeli settlers while visiting a Palestinian village that had been destroyed in recent settler attacks. He alleged that settlers carrying US-made M4 rifles blocked his vehicle and that Israeli soldiers supported the settlers instead of helping him. “Imagine how people feel every day, Palestinians under the occupation, if they could make an American congressperson feel powerless for 90 minutes,” Khanna told The New York Times, describing the incident as a deeply frightening experience. Speaking to Reuters, Khanna said he was “strongly considering” a presidential bid and said his experience in the West Bank would shape his campaign. “I have something unique to offer about the injustices of Palestinians. I’m going to go to every corner of America, regardless of whether I run or not, and tell their stories and tell the story of what is happening in the West Bank,” he said.

However, according to the Daily Beast, his company, Dan Greaney USA, filed an official principal campaign committee statement with the Federal Election Commission last month.</p><p>Greaney’s campaign platform, as outlined on his website, backs universal healthcare, a Green New Deal, and increasing the number of Supreme Court justices from nine to 13. The Republican candidate is also calling for “accountability for Trump administration lawlessness.”</p><p>“The Republican establishment enabled Trump, and the Democrats failed to stand up to him or to us, so I’m not leaving it in their hands,” Greaney wrote on his campaign site.&nbsp;<br>“My campaign is driven by a commitment to bring empathy and decency back into our political culture,” he said, adding that he wants “to give real meaning to the pledge of allegiance’s promise of liberty and justice for all.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

The Simpsons writer who famously predicted Donald Trump’s rise to the White House is now making another bold prediction, his own run for president in 2028. Dan Greaney has launched a surprise campaign, calling himself a “progressive Republican” while taking aim at Trump, JD Vance and others.

Dan Greaney, the 'prophet' who predicted Donald Trump's presidential ambitions and his White House win well in advance of the businessman announcing them, has a new political prediction. This one involves his own political ambitions. Greaney, the Simpsons writer, as reported by the New York Post, has launched his official presidential bid for 2028. A progressive Republican The Emmy-winning writer for the longest-running American animated TV series, describes himself as an "occasional Republican voter" and said that he would be running as a "progressive Republican in the tradition of Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt".
