Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s effort to leapfrog into a prominent leadership role in the new Congress, siding with experience over progressive star power as the party prepares for two years under full Republican control of government. Rep. Gerry Connolly (D., Va.), 74, defeated Ocasio-Cortez, 35, for the top Democratic post on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, putting him in a position to be a prominent antagonist of President-elect Donald Trump during his second term." *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
