Ocasio-Cortez Loses Key Vote in House Oversight Race

“House Democrats’ Steering and Policy Committee on Tuesday voted to recommend Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) as ranking member of the House Oversight Committee,” Axios reports.

“It’s a huge blow to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) hopes of leading the high-profile panel.”

“The House Democratic caucus still has to vote on whether to accept the recommendation – though that ratification is rarely denied.”
