Thanks for pointing this out. Didnt know before.
There's been a very deliberate effort to downplay Khan's success from those with a vested interest in her failure. She had a few very prominent "failures" (which really just means she pushed back against a merger but the merger went through, which IMO isn't really a failure but just the system doing what it should do) and those have been pushed to the fore of public discourse very deliberately by the media and Republicans.
Exactly. You can't lose if you don't fight. Khan fights.. and sometimes loses
Yeah I'm kind of surprised this is the complaint because the Biden admin has been particularly strong on workers rights issues
Yeah, on that front he is surprisingly good and it shouldn't be minimized. But even on workers rights he's not perfect. Who is though?
It was my understanding as well but Iโm not directly involved so I try to keep to the sidelines.
