Per Reuters, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a leader in the Democratic Party’s progressive movement, faced a challenge from Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, a moderate and former television anchor who calls herself MCC.
Ocasio-Cortez, known as AOC, brought a huge campaign war chest and a national profile to her bid for a second term in her diverse district encompassing the Bronx and Queens in New York City.
Caruso-Cabrera had the backing of the conservative U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
