A number of progressives mourned Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) bid to become the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) defeated Ocasio-Cortez in a vote taken by the entire Democratic caucus on Tuesday by a margin of 131-84, one day after the Democrats’ Steering an Policy Committee voted for Connolly over Ocasio-Cortez by a margin of 34-27.
Prior to being easily dispatched by Connolly, many had speculated that Ocasio-Cortez might pull off an upset in the vote among the larger caucus, with Politico Playbook calling the contest a “crapshoot.”

There’s dumb, dumber, dumbest, then AOC.
AOC hasn’t learned that while she has risen high, her base is not wide.
AOC is the future of the Democrat Party—howling at the moon and laughed at by most Americans.
Nancy shot her down according to insider reports, even though 75 y/o Connolly has throat cancer.
AOC apparently isn’t quite in the club yet.
Joy, who’s tied for dumbest Joy in media, needs to keep it up. Though her ratings are collapsing, we need her to keep encouraging the drones to be pushing their extremism so as to continue to alienate the sane people in the electorate
The choice kind of sums up the democrat party— old corrupt swamp vs new police state wannabe.
AOC has stepped on a lot of toes among House leadership and seniority members.
From Barmaid to Queen ... Makes me want to vote for her ... Bwhahahahahaha
The Democrat Party denied a woman of color a position of power. Once again, their racism and sexism are on display.
They should join the Green Party...
Split the vote.
Watching the corporate democrats and the progressive democrats trying to come up with a strategy for 2026 & 2028 should be a lot of fun.
AOC has already been bought off, the “true believer” liberal crusaders just don’t know it yet.
I hope she throws her pink hat in the ring and eventually makes a run.
Shre always looks angry... or something is wedged up in her bottom.
AOC represents the radical hard left, seems like the party has learned from the elections and are tacking back towards center...
Bingo, we have a winner!
