Exclusive: AOC explains what democratic socialism means to her
But for Ocasio-Cortez, it all goes back to when Donald Trump became President of the United States.
"I think so many New Yorkers remember the morning after the election because the election, of course, was on a Tuesday, and most of us had to go to work the next day," she recalls."I remember taking the six train downtown the morning after the election, and it was quiet. It was so quiet on the subways, and we're talking about the train car was packed, absolutely packed with people, and you could just feel the heaviness on every single train car.
Ocasio-Cortez hasn't let her political stardom get in the way of how she feels about her family. Her mother Blanca was at her swearing-in ceremony, holding the Bible as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi administered the oath of office. Afterward, the congresswoman penned an emotional Instagram post thanking her mother for sacrificing everything to raise her after her father died."I think he'd be proud. I think he'd be laughing a lot," she said."My dad was a big jokester and he just saw the humor in a lot of things and I think he'd say, 'I told you so,' in that my dad always kind of told us and talked to us about how we're going to go through a lot of hardship.
"Whether it's going to be in fulfilling your skills or your potential, there's always going to be a dawn after the dark," she added.Here's the timeline of how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went from bartender to congresswoman in less than a year
