AOC Eyes Top Democrat Role on House Oversight Committee

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is considering a bid for the top Democratic position on the House Oversight Committee, potentially testing her influence within the party. This opportunity arises as Rep. Jamie Raskin challenges Rep. Jerry Nadler for the Judiciary Committee's top spot, which could leave the Oversight role vacant. Other potential contenders include Reps. Gerry Connolly, Raja Krishnamoorthi, and Ro Khanna. The situation highlights a broader generational shift and challenges to seniority within the Democratic Party's congressional leadership.
