Trump Stands Firm on Hegseth Nomination Amid Growing Opposition

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has officially entered the race to become the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, challenging Rep. Gerry Connolly. Her candidacy is part of a broader shift in Democratic leadership, with several committee positions being contested. Ocasio-Cortez, known for her progressive stance, is expected to have significant support, while Connolly is also building a strong base. The decision will ultimately be made by the Steering and Policy Committee, followed by a full caucus vote. House Democratic leaders are remaining neutral in these internal contests.
