Democratic Socialists Planning To Primary Chuck Schumer With Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
[DAILYWIRE] The Democratic Socialists who launched a full-on assault on the House of Representatives in 2018 are looking at bigger targets for 2022 and 2024, but they still involve the group's most successful candidate to date, Rep. Alexandria Boom BoomOcasio-Cortez  Dem represntative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...(D-NY). According to a report in Axios, "top Democrats" are expecting Ocasio-Cortez to build on the success of the small civil war she's created between factions of the party and launch a campaign to primary one of New York's two senators, either Sen. Chuck Schumer Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower. Senate minority leader as of 2017. or Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. Schumer seems the more likely target, according to Axios's sources, particularly given that he often falls on the "wrong" side of the battle between progressives and moderates. She's also dealt more closely with Schumer, helping to dictate how the Senate handles policy initiated in the House by progressive politicians, including her own "Green New Deal," which came up for a vote in the Senate and lost handily (even though AOC and her co-authors were adamant that a solution be enacted quickly).
