Ocasio-Cortez on Democratic Party Resilience

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez describes the current state of the Democratic Party as 'resolved,' moving past initial shock and dismay over losing power in Washington. She emphasizes the necessity for the party to adapt strategically to regain the support of working-class voters who have shifted towards Trump in the upcoming elections. Ocasio-Cortez believes that Republicans are currently underestimating the public's response to their budget cuts, particularly to Medicaid, which has far-reaching implications for voters who rely on these services. By framing the party's challenges in this light, she aims to inspire a focus on effective governance that resonates with the needs of everyday citizens.
