The AOC lost a bid to become the top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee
Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, DN.Y., lost her bid to become the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, defeated by Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia.
Connolly defeated Ocasio-Cortez by a vote of 131 to 84 in what appeared to be a clash of progressives who supported Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the progressive “Party.”
“I thank my colleagues for their support and confidence in me to lead House Democrats on the Oversight Committee,” Connolly said in a statement.
