Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wins Democratic primary against Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, CNN projects
The district, which includes parts of the Bronx and Queens, is heavily Democratic and considered to be a reliably blue seat. It was formerly held for years by veteran Democrat Joe Crowley, who Ocasio-Cortez defeated in a major upset in the 2018 midterm elections. Ocasio-Cortez, who has in her first term in office become a national progressive icon, had significant advantages in the race, including strong national name recognition, devoted supporters and significant fundraising.
In an interview with CNN, she said the congresswoman"wants to be a national star," adding,"I want to be a congresswoman for the people of the Bronx and Queens." Ocasio-Cortez told CNN in March in response to accusations she isn't focused on her district,"Really, it just makes the person sound tone deaf because if you think I'm not around, the person who's not around is you, because you don't see us and we're everywhere.
