The chairman of the New York State Democratic Committee said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) should not challenge Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) in the 2022 Democratic primary, according to the New York Post.
“I think it would be a primary driven by ambition more than by need,” state party boss Jay Jacobs told the newspaper, saying he believed the progressive congresswoman would “absolutely” lose to Schumer.
“Chuck Schumer has been a progressive force in the state for decades,” Jacobs told the Post. “[Ocasio-Cortez] has a constituency that admires her and supports her, and they’re in her community, and I think it would be a loss for them if she were to do that.”
The New York congresswoman, a frequent critic of the party’s centrist wing who unseated a longtime incumbent in the Democratic primary to win her seat in 2018, has not directly expressed a desire to challenge Schumer.
She told Politico in April that she didn’t know whether she would ever mount such a challenge. President Trump has frequently claimed Ocasio-Cortez would defeat the New York senator in a primary.
More recently, in October, Ocasio-Cortez told Vanity Fair, “I don’t know if I’m really going to be staying in the House forever, or if I do stay in the House, what that would look like. I don’t see myself really staying where I’m at for the rest of my life.”
Ocasio-Cortez has frequently said Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) should be replaced but also has said she is not yet prepared to take a leadership position herself.
“I do think that we need new leadership in the Democratic Party. … The internal dynamics of the House has made it such that there’s very little option for succession,” she said in a December interview with The Intercept’s podcast. “It’s easy for someone to say, ‘Oh, well, you know, why don’t you run?’ but the House is extraordinarily complex, and I’m not ready. It can’t be me. I know that I couldn’t do that job.”
The Hill has reached out to Ocasio-Cortez’s office for comment.
Both that Cortez woman and Schumer should be charged with treason. Those 2 along with Pelosi and a bunch of other demonrats need to get run out of office as their only intentions are to spread socialism then communism throughout our Country. They are nothing power hungry, egotistical, self serving, crooked politicians that need to be jailed!
The Seditiously pre-planned takeover of the united States of America is now fully underway following the exact same cancel culture, confiscate all means of fighting back and control of speech precepts that all of our enemies have used sense time immemorial. We are either screwed or we can fight back. Even if it means with the sharpened edges of corporate issued credit cards slicing through traitorous domestic carotid arteries. Oooops! … Just got myself onto the No-fly list. Hey!…Glad to do my “Carbon Footprint” reduction part! And… GOD BLESS AMERICA.
LOL…doesn’t she know God (shumwhore) will have her killed?
AOCj will trounce that old clown! Why wait? He would serve for 12 more years n Gildibrand needed Trump knee pads to fundraise
Valuable information. Fortunate me I discovered your website unintentionally, and I am
stunned why this coincidence did not happened earlier!
I bookmarked it.
Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d
ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
My website goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit
from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Wonderful blog
by the way!
Hi there, constantly i used to check website
posts here in the early hours in the daylight, as i enjoy to
gain knowledge of more and more.
This is the right website for everyone who would like to understand this topic.
You realize a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually would want to…HaHa).
You certainly put a new spin on a subject which has been written about for years.
Great stuff, just excellent!
It’s going to be end of mine day, however before
finish I am reading this wonderful post to increase my know-how.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to
your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else experiencing issues
with your site. It looks like some of the written text on your posts are running off
the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This may be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen before.
Thanks
