Hoping to help lead a congressional panel that could be in a position to hold President-elect Donald Trump accountable to the American public in the coming years, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday notified her colleagues that she is officially seeking the top Democratic seat on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

    I see people always hope for a Presidential role for her, but I honestly want her and people like her in these kinds of places instead. Far more power to change things for a longer time.

      Given the recent election, I think Democrats needs extroverts, populists (true ones like AOC or Bernie, not fake ones like trump, that only promise but deliver for himself). It looks like people no longer want an establishment.
