Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says Schumer and Jeffries are leading the Democrats’ shutdown fight

Washington – Representative Alexandria Ocasio -Cortez, DN.Y., has become a main figure in the fight against government funding, but this is not a role it requested. It is rather a role that the Republicans pushed him.

“Chuck Schumer is terrified that he will get a main challenge in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,” Vice-President JD Vance said on Wednesday. “The reason why the government of the American people is closed is that Chuck Schumer listens to far left radicals in his own party because he is terrified by a main challenge.”

Republican after the Republican used Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive star, like a sheet in their argument that Democrats go too far in their requests to end the closure. They say she and the party’s left wing puts pressure on their more moderate leadership to stand firm.

Ocasio-Cortez clearly indicated in an interview with NBC News that democratic leadership stimulates party strategy.

“They say this kind of thing about me in the press, and the fact is that I can tell you, in the seven years that I am here, they [Republican leaders] never gave me a single telephone call, because they know what is the truth, “she said.” They know that the people they need to negotiate and with whom they negotiate Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer “, the Democrats of the Chamber and the Senate, both from New York.

Vance; President of the Mike Johnson room, R-La ..; The head of the majority of the Senate John Thune, RS.D.; And President Donald Trump continues to claim that Schumer, in particular, feels pressure because of the possibility that Ocasio-Cortez wants to challenge him during the primary of the Senate in 2028. Ocasio-Cortez, which is at his fourth term, did not exclude an offer from the Senate, but rather declared that it was not something that voters were in question.

“People will die. No one cares about certain electoral years. They care if their children can get insulin, if they can put food on the table, “she said.

She said that her caucus remains “extremely united” in her requests to end the closure and that she and her democratic colleagues are not intimidated by the threats of the White House around mass layoffs and financing cuts. She said it was not necessary for her to be at the front and at the center of the negotiations.

“It is so important to understand that these people all speak. They all speak. They negotiate with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, and democratic leaders and democrats are united for this purpose. ”
