She is toeing the party line.
Progressive star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., backed House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in her bid for the speakership.
In a series of tweets Wednesday, the 29-year-old said as long as Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for speaker, she can count on Ocasio-Cortez’s support.
“All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests,” she wrote.
“Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.”
