A stunner in the political world could signal a shift is coming.  Members of both political parties need to take a close look at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s primary win in New York’s 14th District. Time magazine calls it, “… the biggest upset of the 2018 elections so far.” The 28-year-old from the Bronx said it best overnight.

Ocasio-Cortez defeated Congressman Joe Crowley. Crowley had served 10 terms and was highly considered a contender for House speaker (if the Democrats were to win the majority in November).

Ocasio-Cortez was outspent 18-1, but the women who was a bartender just a year ago had a background and ideas that really connected with voters. Many say this ad helped her win as well. Politico says:

“Ocasio-Cortez, 28, challenged Crowley on ideological, generational and racial grounds, arguing that the 10-term congressman was not in step with his majority-minority district and was too cozy with corporate donors. A former Bernie Sanders organizer, Ocasio-Cortez campaigned on abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and pushing the Medicare-for-all bill championed by Sanders.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s win was such a surprise, there was just one TV station with her when she gots the news, NY1. Take a look at her reaction above.

And here she is talking to CNN this morning.
