AOC has an opponent. It's not coincidental this comes exactly as Trump elevates his racist attacks against the Squad.
USA Today reports that Scherie Murray, a Republican, has launched a campaign to unseat AOC.
Right-wing media have made a blood sport out of concocting lies and outrageous stories about AOC for over a year. Her support of Medicare For All, a Green New Deal, and other progressive ideas terrifies them. Her power terrifies them.
Now, with Trump using the full weight of the Oval Office to realize his racist plans, Republicans want to use his attacks as an opportunity to further their own agenda.
AOC won the 2018 general election with decisive 78% of the vote by running on an unapologetically bold commitment to fighting for working people.
She’s been an outstanding leader, fighting for progressive policies from Medicare For All, to a Green New Deal, to better pay and conditions for workers -- to holding bankers and CEOs accountable and calling out Trump’s white supremacist agenda.
But we can’t take this race for granted. Republicans -- and even some conservative Democrats -- have discussed changing the boundaries of her district to dilute her support.
Trump’s daily barrage of hatred against her -- along with Republicans refusal to stand up to him -- will deliver millions of dollars in campaign money to any Republican, such as Murray, who takes her on.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here.
