Khanna vote tracker: June 29-30

Ro Khanna (D-CA-17, Silicon Valley) cast six House roll-call votes during the June 29-30 voting stretch: four Yea votes, one Nay vote, and one No vote. 123456

The main split was not the vote count itself. Khanna broke from the Democratic voting majority on the KIDS Act, where he voted Nay while Democrats voted 104-85 in favor; he then voted with all voting Democrats against the rule package that would have brought the National Defense Authorization Act and several related measures to floor debate. 14

Two additional bills passed by voice vote during the same stretch, HR7257 SECURE Grid Act and HR8873 Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act, but voice votes do not create an individual recorded position for Khanna. 78

Vote and result: Khanna voted Nay on June 29. The House passed HR7757, the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, by 267-117 under suspension of the rules, which required a two-thirds majority. 1

What the bill does: The KIDS Act combined online child-safety measures covering parental controls in online games, instant-messaging service regulation, AI chatbot restrictions, privacy protections for children and teenagers, and a data-broker registration system. 9 The House version used a reasonableness standard rather than the Senate KOSA duty-of-care standard, and the House version did not require platforms to prevent broader harms such as eating disorders, compulsive use, depression, or anxiety. 12

Public rationale: Khanna did not publish a vote-specific explanation on his checked official press-release page during the window. 13

Current status: HR7757 passed the House and was sent to the Senate; GovTrack listed a 34 percent enacted-prognosis estimate. 9

Party context: Khanna's Nay was a party defection because Democrats voted 104 Yea to 85 Nay, but it aligned with the Congressional Progressive Caucus majority, which voted 58 Nay to 26 Yea. 1

Vote and result: Khanna voted Yea on June 29. The House passed HR7128, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2026, by 373-15 under suspension of the rules. 2

What the bill does: HR7128 would reauthorize the federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Program, which provides a federal backstop for commercial property insurance after certified terrorism events. 14

Public rationale: Khanna did not publish a vote-specific explanation on his checked official press-release page during the window. 13

Current status: HR7128 passed the House and was sent to the Senate; GovTrack listed a 30 percent enacted-prognosis estimate. 14

Party context: Khanna voted with the Democratic caucus, which supported the bill 191-0; the 15 Nay votes came from Republicans. 2

Vote and result: Khanna voted Nay on June 30 on ordering the previous question for H.Res. 1398, the procedural step before the House voted on the rule package. The motion passed 215-210. 3

What the vote did: The previous-question vote ended debate on the rule process for H.Res. 1398 and moved the House toward the next vote on agreeing to the rule itself. 3 GovTrack described this as the Rules Committee path used to set up floor consideration for legislation expected to rely mainly on Republican votes. 10

Public rationale: Khanna did not publish a vote-specific explanation on his checked official press-release page during the window. 13

Current status: The previous-question motion passed, and the House immediately proceeded to RC 591 on the rule itself. 3

Party context: The vote was a strict party-line vote: Republicans voted 215-0 Yea and Democrats voted 210-0 Nay. 3

Vote and result: Khanna voted No on June 30 on agreeing to H.Res. 1398, the rule package for the NDAA and related measures. The rule failed 198-224. 4

What the vote did: The rule failure kept the NDAA (HR8800), the State-Foreign Operations appropriations bill (HR8595), HR8884, and H.Res. 1383 from moving into full House debate under that rule package. 4 GovTrack reported that the House then adjourned early on July 2 until July 13. 10

Public rationale: Khanna did not publish a vote-specific explanation on his checked official press-release page during the window. 13

Current status: The rule failed, so the package did not proceed under H.Res. 1398 during this voting stretch. 4

Party context: Democrats voted 210-0 No, and 14 Republicans joined them; those Republican defections caused the rule to fail. 4 GovTrack linked the standoff to demands by some Republican holdouts to attach the SAVE America Act to the NDAA, even after the demand was met. 10

Vote and result: Khanna voted Yea on June 30 on H.Con.Res. 108, a War Powers Resolution measure directing the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon. The House rejected the resolution 189-235. 5

What the resolution does: H.Con.Res. 108 used section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to direct the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon. 15 The Trump administration issued a Statement of Administration Policy opposing the resolution on June 30. 5

Public rationale: Khanna did not publish a vote-specific explanation on his checked official press-release page during the window. 13

Current status: The resolution failed and was dead after the House vote. 15

Party context: Khanna voted with most Democrats: Democrats voted 187-22 Yea, while Republicans voted 213-2 Nay. 5

Vote and result: Khanna voted Yea on June 30 on H.Res. 1399, a resolution directing the House Committee on Ethics to preserve and publicly release records related to monetary settlements involving acts of sexual harassment. The House passed it 420-0. 6

What the resolution does: The resolution directed the Ethics Committee to preserve and release records related to monetary settlements involving sexual-harassment acts. 6

Public rationale: Khanna did not publish a vote-specific explanation on his checked official press-release page during the window. 13

Current status: The resolution passed unanimously, but the Ethics Committee said on July 2 that it did not possess this category of sexual-harassment settlement records and therefore could not release them. 10

Party context: The vote was unanimous: Republicans voted 210-0 Yea and Democrats voted 210-0 Yea. 6

The KIDS Act is the most direct vote for tech workers and AI founders because it moved from the House to the Senate with online child-safety, age-verification, privacy, and AI-chatbot provisions still in play. 9 The TRIA reauthorization also moved to the Senate after a broad bipartisan House vote. 14

The NDAA rule failure is the process item to watch after the House returns. The failed rule stalled the NDAA, State-Foreign Operations appropriations, and two related measures, and GovTrack reported that the House adjourned early until July 13. 410
