When I chatted with Steve Bannon a few weeks ago, he was taking a predictable post-election victory lap, gloating about how Democrats have irrevocably lost touch with working-class people in the middle of the country. These very voters once made up the backbone of the Democratic Party: people without college degrees in factory towns and counties that twice voted for Barack Obama but have since turned to Donald Trump. Bannon, unprompted, went out of his way to credit three Democrats who actually “get it,” and know how to connect with noncollege voters: Sherrod Brown, John Fetterman, and Ro Khanna, the 48-year-old Indian American congressman who represents a wealthy Bay Area district that’s home to Silicon Valley behemoths like Apple and Intel. “Khanna gets it at a very deep level,” Bannon told me.
