Rep. Mike Honda agreed with Huffington Post and San Jose State University to an Oct. 6 debate date. But challenger Ro Khanna says he has still yet to receive an invite.

Rep. Mike Honda may finally have agreed to a debate date—it’s just he didn’t consult his opponent, Ro Khanna, on the details.

Congressman Mike Honda is no stranger to falling asleep in meetings and missing votes. But it appears that absenteeism has carried over to his re-election campaign.

Tuesday's primary election told us a number of things: Ro Khanna has more than an uphill fight against Mike Honda, spoilers altered the San Jose mayor's race and libertarians in Silicon Valley have disappeared.

Rep. Mike Honda cruised past challenger Ro Khanna in early election results. Still, both made it to the November runoff, thanks to California's top-two primary system.

On Sunday, Andy Wong, a staffer for congressional candidate Ro Khanna, fired a tweet across the bow when he noted that Congressman Mike Honda (D-Fremont) had skipped his second candidate forum in as many days.
