Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive Democratic representative from New York, recently made a surprising statement regarding her approach to working with congressional Republicans. In an unexpected turn of events, she indicated a willingness to support some of President-elect Donald Trump’s policies, provided they align with her values.
During an interview with Punchbowl News on Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez explained that she believes Democrats often struggle in elections because they are too quick to oppose Republicans without considering collaboration on certain issues. She stated that her party’s reflexive stance against Republicans may sometimes hinder their ability to present a compelling vision for working-class Americans.
