Ocasio Cortez Could LOSE Her Seat In Congress, New Moderate Democrats Announces Primary Challenge. Ocasio Cortez won her seat through the tactic of "primarying." With just less than 17,000 votes she outed Joe Crowley to become the Democratic nominee for her district. Because her district is so heavily Democrat winning the primary was all it took. Many republicans have stepped up to run against her but it is extremely unlikely these republicans can win the safe blue district. But now we have a new city council member with strong ties to the democratic party announcing a 'pro capitalist' challenge. Fernando Cabrera denounces AOC's socialism and said only a democrat can beat her, a moderate democrat. We know from the data that moderates performed substantially better in the 2018 mid terms than the far left and socialist candidates. Though some did legitimately win Ocasio Cortez got in via the primary. After losing the Amazon HQ jobs it is possible her district revolts and ousts her with a new more moderate candidate. We know AOC's funds are coming from outside her district as well. Perhaps she is not as popular locally as people think. Perhaps she has spent too much time courting national level activists instead of her own constituents.
