In an announcement video posted Tuesday on his campaign’s X account, Krishnamoorthi vowed to stand up to "bullies like Donald Trump and Elon Musk," though the latter left the White House last week. The congressman portrayed the president as a leader who is "ignoring the Constitution" and is "out for revenge."

"I’ll never be quiet while billionaires like Elon Musk and a convicted felon deny the dreams of the next generation for their own egos and personal profit," Krishnamoorthi said in the video. He also vowed to "make America work for working people."
Krishnamoorthi was first elected to Congress in 2016 and currently serves as the ranking member of the Select Committee on the CCP. He is also the ranking member on the Oversight Committee’s Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services.
