America will be literally on fire and some outlet will commission a piece about whether putting out the fire appeals to the centrist vote.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has emerged as one of the Democratic Party’s leading voices. But some worry she will turn off the centrist voters needed to win competitive races.
AOC Isn’t Ruling Anything Out, Including the White House
