Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) said she won't seek to become the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee following the announced retirement of Gerry Connolly, who the party favored over her earlier this year.
Speculation about the possibility arose after Connolly said he would leave the post "soon" due to the return of an esophageal cancer. However, AOC said she won't run again as she believes she would again face long odds against a more senior member of the party.
