Which House seat will Ro Khanna seek?

Democrat Ro Khanna was raising up a storm last cycle, but held off reportedly because he didn't want to upset the apple cart and challenge an incumbent. Apparently he won't hold off this cycle, even if there are no open seats. He has to be encouraged by the Swalwell/McLeod wins to know that a same party challenge can work very well in a Democratic district in Top Two. Khanna needs the right combination to ensure advancement. He either no Republicans or 2+ Republicans and no other Democrats just in case the Republicans take a fair amount of votes. Evelyn Li got 27.6% of the vote this year. That leaves little margin for error.

Swalwell would be more vulnerable and less likely to ruffle feathers. Of course they both won by beating old vets. So you can use the young up and comer angle that Swalwell used.
