During a massive rally in Denver, Bernie Sanders highlighted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's evolution from a working-class background to a congresswoman inspiring a younger generation. With her fourth term underway, Ocasio-Cortez shifts focus to unite Democrats against Trump rather than emphasize progressive versus moderate divisions. Her approach aims to connect with disenchanted liberals while expressing a need for stronger leadership within the party. Ocasio-Cortez encourages inclusiveness, emphasizing that anyone willing to fight for community should feel welcome, reflecting a broader Democratic frustration with traditional leadership.
In a leaderless Democratic Party out of power in Washington, Ocasio-Cortez has a message and a connection with a segment of liberals feeling disenchanted with both parties.
Her instinct to brawl is well-matched to the restlessness of the Democratic base, much of which sees top party officials like New York Sen. Chuck Schumer as not confrontational enough.
