Ocasio-Cortez Backs Primary Challenges Against Democrats

Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) “threw her weight behind a new national campaign to mount primaries against incumbent Democrats deemed to be ideologically and demographically out of step with their districts,” Politico reports.

“The incoming star congresswoman from New York again put the Democratic establishment on notice that she and activist groups on the left aren’t content with a Democratic-controlled House: They are determined to move the party to the left.”
