US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat, New York) isn’t fazed by Congress’ failure to move forward with the impeachment of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
From her perspective, Democrats have almost too many people to investigate once they gain control of Congress in January.
“There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday.
“There are going to be many, many, many investigations,” she added. “I imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.”
If she doesn’t persue Schumer’s seat in 2028, she’d be making a powerful senator from her own state an enemy needlessly. She has no vote in the Senate leadership, and she’s not going to change the mind of anyone who does have a say in it. Her strongest allies in the Senate are already going to vote against him. What good does publicly chastising him do?
