AOC downplays talk of replacing Pelosi or Schumer: ‘This isn’t about saviorism politics’
Fox News
Supporters of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be wrong to consider her some sort of political messiah, the New York Democrat says in a new interview.
"That’s a lot to put on one person," she told the outlet, adding later, "This isn’t about saviorism politics." She stressed that Democrats should instead pursue a broader strategy of electing more candidates who share her views, rather than focus on elevating her. That way, she reasoned, left-leaning legislation such as a higher federal minimum wage, Medicare for All and her signature Green New Deal climate plan would each have a better chance of becoming law.More Related News
