Evidence (2023-07-09): Where I'm at is I believe in states' rights, and I believe that the president of the United States has got a defined set of things they're supposed to work on, and it's not every culture war topic. These are things that are left to the state. As president, things that you're supposed to focus on, things like the economy, like energy policy, which is completely tied to national security, and part of national security is the border. And these are things that the president right now, President Biden, has completely abdicated his responsibility on. Every state’s become a border state, 110,000 overdose deaths in this country last year, again. That’s – and that's a statistic, but that's 330 a day. [...] Governor Burgum, I have more questions, but I don't have more time. Thanks for your time.

Evidence (2024-08-20): When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) stepped onto the Democratic National Convention stage in Chicago on Monday night, the crowd erupted in chants of "A-O-C." The 34-year-old’s speech electrified the room of Democrats, representing a dramatic shift from when the congresswoman from Queens first entered the scene in 2018 as an outsider and challenger to the party establishment—a democratic socialist who unseated 10-term incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley, protested Democratic leadership in the House, and quickly became the poster child for the Democratic Party’s outlier left wing. [...] For her part, Ocasio-Cortez has maintained that she doesn’t have her sights set on higher office than the House. In her DNC speech, she instead doubled down on her commitment to bringing a working-class perspective to politics, recalling her past experience as a waitress without health insurance, struggling to pay bills after her father died from cancer. She reiterated how more people who have experienced similar struggles—such as Harris, she said—need to be in government and in the White House.

Evidence (2024-08-20): Shortly after an energetic speech from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton praised Biden. Alluding to Harris’ status as the second woman ever to head a Democratic ticket, Clinton name-checked other pioneering Democratic women, including presidential candidate Shirley Chisholm in the 1970s and vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro in the 1980s. Multiple speakers during the hourslong program criticized Trump-era policies, including the Supreme Court appointments that enabled the overturning of the abortion decision Roe v. Wade, by repeating the slogan, "We’re not going back." Here are fact-checks of statements by a range of speakers at the convention’s first night. Abortion Biden: "And you know, Trump will do everything to ban abortion nationwide." Since April, Trump has repeatedly said he believes abortion legislation should be "left up to the states." Trump also told reporters in April that he wouldn’t sign a national ban. As president, Trump endorsed a 20-week national abortion ban that House Republicans backed. Earlier in this election year, he floated support for 15- or 16-week federal abortion bans, news outlets reported.

Evidence (2019-01-18): Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently captured headlines in her "60 Minutes" interview when she said the U.S. should raise taxes on a portion of the income made by America’s top earners; the idea is that once a person had made at least $10 million in a single year, every dollar coming in after that would be taxed at a rate of up to 70 percent. Many have dismissed the idea, saying it would be too radical and would damage the economy. But the Democratic representative from New York might have hit on something voters want. [...] Ocasio-Cortez has not made any official policy proposal for a higher marginal tax rate, but she is already shaping the national conversation on economic policy ahead of the 2020 elections. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, who recently announced a presidential run, has already endorsed Ocasio-Cortez’s tax hike proposal in an interview with ABC News.

Evidence (2019-03-21): Ocasio-Cortez represents one vision of the Democratic Party’s future. She’s a young Hispanic woman, three cornerstones of the party’s electoral coalition. She’s a democratic socialist at a time when confidence in capitalism is declining, especially among progressive millennials. The issues she ran on—a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, a federal jobs guarantee, abolishing ICE—are animating a new generation of Democrats. She’s a political phenomenon: part activist, part legislator, arguably the best storyteller in the party since Barack Obama and perhaps the only Democrat right now with the star power to challenge President Donald Trump’s. [...] The reception in Washington hasn’t been quite as warm. Ocasio-Cortez is among the most visible of a group of young, left-wing freshman Democrats—-including Representatives Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan—who have sparked controversy for their views on everything from impeachment to Israel. Some fellow first-term Democrats welcome the spotlight she brings. "We have this really dynamic rock star who is getting a lot of attention," says Representative Haley Stevens of Michigan, a co-president of the freshman class. "Why is that a bad thing?" In person, Democratic sources say, Ocasio-Cortez is friendly and respectful, nothing like the firebrand who spars with -critics online. "She’s quiet as a mouse" in caucus meetings, says one congressional source.

And it is yet another fierce battle between the mainstream wing of the party and the left, with Hillary Clinton endorsing Latimer and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hosting rallies for Bowman in the Bronx.
