Democrats Face Criticism for Passing Over AOC for Key Oversight Role
- Democrats faced criticism for passing over Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for a key oversight role, as MSNBC host Jen Psaki highlighted a missed opportunity after the 2024 election loss.
- Instead of Ocasio-Cortez, Congressman Gerry Connolly was chosen for the top Democratic spot, backed by Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.
- The choice of 74-year-old Connolly over 35-year-old Ocasio-Cortez was seen as a blow to the progressive wing, with a vote tally of 131 to 84.
- Chad Pergram noted that the appointment could drive a wedge between the youth and older members of the Democratic Party, while Connolly dismissed the narrative as false.
