Talking to Trump voters in AOC's district
Manage episode 451522232 series 1538108
In a slice of Queens south of LaGuardia Airport, voters again re-elected a left-leaning congressmember known for touting her working-class bona fides. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez still points to her time waiting tables and preaches economic redistribution, and while voters flee from some of her party’s colleagues, she has yet to face a serious re-election threat.
The conventional wisdom states that a figure like Ocasio-Cortez, who brings an activist energy and belongs to a left-leaning coalition of congressional Democrats, could only win in certain left strongholds. But in parts of her district where she handily won re-election this month, Republicans gained ground as voters swung to another candidate who commands superstar attention: President-elect Donald Trump.
