Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) will not serve as the most powerful Democrat on the influential House Oversight Committee after she lost two key votes this week to Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA).

Tuesday’s full caucus vote loss is a blow to progressives and other Democrats who supported the New York “Squad” member as part of a larger generational shake-up after the 2024 election. Many Democrats have expressed a desire to reshape the party after losing key races and seeing a drop in blue-collar support for President-elect Donald Trump.
