Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez credits talking issues, not Trump, for upset win in Democratic primary
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old first-time candidate whose victory over Rep. Joe Crowley in a New York Democratic primary Tuesday night sent shockwaves through Washington, has a few words of advice for her fellow Democrats: sharpen your message and avoid petty squabbles with President Donald Trump.
“We have to stick to the message: What are we proposing to the American people? Not, ‘What are we fighting against?'” Ocasio-Cortez told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday.
