Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, says Democrats are stuck in their 'old ways' after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's failed bid to lead the Oversight Committee. Crockett argues that seniority-based leadership prevents the party from choosing the most qualified individuals for the task at hand, especially in light of recent election results.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said her party was still stuck in their “old ways” while reacting to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ’s failed bid to be the top Democrat Oversight Committee chair, and suggested they were too focused on seniority.
“I think that America is looking at us and saying, wait a minute, we lost the election, and we know that the Senate lost seats, now, the House we picked up seats, right? But I think they are saying, we are looking towards y’all to show us you’re willing to shake it up if it means we can move this country forward,” Crockett said.
“This is one of the few committees in Congress that actually generates national attention or media coverage. Under Jamie Raskin, it became a critical platform for countering Republican misinformation. And while I have deep, deep respect for Speaker Pelosi… and nothing against Congressman Connolly at all, this felt like an obvious chance to apply some of the lessons we should’ve learned from the November election,” Psaki said.
