Liberal darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez becomes youngest woman elected to Congress in landslide victory
Ocasio-Cortez became a new ray of hope for the Democratic party after she defeated longtime incumbent Joe Crowley while running a low-budget campaign
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York liberal Congressional candidate, became the youngest female elected to Congress after defeating her Republican challenger Anthony Pappas on Tuesday.
With a promise to try and push the Democratic Party further to the left, the 29-year-old Democratic socialist openly supported the abolition of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), upheld free college tuition, as well as 'Medicare for all'. Over the summer, Ocasio Cortez defeated longtime incumbent Joe Crowley in the Democrat primary, thereby winning the party's nomination.
