NEW YORK CITY - Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to X, formerly twitter, to publicly criticize fellow Democrats who have come to terms with Trump's potential reelection ahead of the November elections. The veteran representative urged those lawmakers to retire from mainstream politics.
The response comes after an anonymous quote from a senior House Democrat, reported by Axios the day after former president Trump's assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. That representative said "we've [Democrats] all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency."
