Evidence

The Guardian says Ro Khanna is among the progressive figures backing Tom Steyer, whose California campaign is centered on taxing the ultra-wealthy and would open the door to a first-of-its-kind state wealth tax.

Khanna is still publicly aligned with billionaire-tax politics in the lookback window, but this is support for a state campaign rather than enactment of a federal billionaire tax.

The Guardian reports that Silicon Valley donors are spending heavily to defeat the proposed 5% billionaire tax on California's November ballot, showing the fight is still active.

The tax remains contested and unpassed; recent money flows point to an unresolved campaign, not a delivered policy.

The Wall Street Journal says wealthy Californians are already restructuring assets and shifting money to reduce exposure to the proposed one-time 5% billionaire tax.

Avoidance planning around a still-proposed tax indicates the measure has not been implemented and remains unresolved.

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

No federal billionaire tax has been enacted, which means the promised outcome has not been delivered in Khanna's federal office context. The cited 2026 evidence concerns a still-pending California state billionaire-tax campaign that Khanna supports, showing ongoing effort but not completion of the promised policy. Because he remains in office and is still aligned with billionaire-tax efforts, this is better scored as unresolved than delivered or partial.
