Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a prominent New York Democrat, reflects on her evolution from a progressive insurgent to a more seasoned lawmaker. In a recent interview, she discusses the potential ramifications of the Republican Party's decisions, including significant cuts to Medicaid and federal workforce reductions. Despite debates within her party about immigration, she reaffirms her commitment to a path to citizenship for undocumented individuals. Ocasio-Cortez emphasizes the importance of unity among Democrats as they strategize to regain political power following electoral setbacks and expresses her willingness to confront political adversaries to support vulnerable communities.
The Republican Party is making certain large errors right now, and I believe they will feel the consequences of their actions in the coming months.
I still favor a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, regardless of recent criticisms calling for a shift in approach.
I will continue to advocate for those without legal status, to help educate them about their rights, even in the face of political opposition.
Unity among Democrats is crucial right now, as evidenced by our recent vote against the Republican budget plan that threatens many crucial services.
