Evidence

This bill has the status Introduced. Latest Action: House - 06/17/2025 Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

The Khanna-backed war-powers effort remained at the introduced stage and had not advanced to passage, so the anti-war promise was not delivered through this measure.

Ro Khanna is to introduce legislation that would ban gasoline exports during price spikes.

Khanna was still pushing a concrete policy response tied to the Iran war and domestic fuel costs, but this was a proposal to introduce legislation rather than enacted delivery.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Khanna made a serious anti-war legislative effort, including introducing war-powers legislation, but the cited measures remained at the introduced/referred stage and did not result in enacted changes to end foreign wars, redirect spending, or cut defense waste. That supports credit for effort, not delivery.
