Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) is in the race to be the next top Democrat on the influential House Oversight Committee, setting her up for a battle with Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) during a party-wide, generational leadership shakeup after the 2024 elections.

After a week of speculation and confirmation from the New York congresswoman that she would “soon” be making a decision on whether to run for leadership, Ocasio-Cortez announced Friday that she is launching a bid to become ranking member of the powerful committee that led Republicans’ investigations into President Joe Biden and his family.
