Rep. Kathleen Rice has secured a seat on the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, beating out colleague Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) in a secret ballot vote.
Politico reported last week that both Rice and Ocasio-Cortez were waging a battle to secure the seat “with both touting the support of the New York delegation, circulating separate letters with their home state’s endorsement.”
Confidence was exuding from AOC as she discussed the contest, noting she was the candidate with the state’s backing.
“I’m the only member to have the full region’s endorsement for New York state,” Ocasio-Cortez declared. “She (Rice) has a couple signatures but she does not have the region’s endorsement.”
In the end, however, Rice got more than a couple of votes, winning by a large margin (46-13) in what Politico called “a tense and awkward” vote.

AOC may have lost the coveted seat due to her inability to play nice with others within her own party.
“The panel launched into an intense round of speeches on each candidate, with several Democrats speaking up to lobby against Ocasio-Cortez,” the report states.

Ouch.
She is making an ass out of every other Democrat, I guess they finally noticed.
Is there a Bar and Grill Committee?
Bet her district gets gerrymandered.
OH NOOOOOOOEZ !!!!
San Fran Nan doesnt like you !!!
She’ll be back. Nanzi’s just jealous that Sandy is young, has a cool acronym, and is the new face of Gucci socialism.
The stupid c*** never thought that the RAT leadership would get revenge for her attacks on them. An incredibly stupid woman. And thus she is the perfect example of a RAT.
It’s not nice to fool Mother Nanzi.
her big ego might have got its comeuppance but you have to be decent to be humiliated...
That committee means big bucks for the members. Hope it hurts her lifestyle.
Agree.
Pelosi probably only has another decade as House domo.
AOC will be around another 50 years.
Play the long game, honey.
Which is what happens to people who for a lifetime have never been held accountable for their words.
Since Cortez lost out on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, I suspect she’d be more than qualified for the house cleaning and laundry committee.
I doubt she expected to get a plum committee assignment.
The idiot Bernie has seemed to have learned to accept being the token socialist, whose role is being the cheerleader who keeps the fringe left on the Democrat plantation, in exchange for cash and favors.
AOC needs to carve out a similar role for herself, or she won’t last long.
LOL. AOC wrecked commerce in her OWN district by nuking 25,000 Amazon jobs that would likely have become 250,000 under COVID. Moron.
Its been my studied opinion that life has a way of eventually catching up to people like that. That so called judge sullivan also falls in that category.
You know pelosi is 80 y/o right?
She didn’t do that.
But she did make a dandy scapegoat.
