Ben Tulchin on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Win: “Seismic”
Ben Tulchin helped frame this story in Politico on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent Democratic primary victory in New York’s 14th congressional district. Her win shows the continuing influence of Bernie Sanders and the energy in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, Tulchin says.
“Ocasio-Cortez’s victory is seismic,” said Ben Tulchin, a Democratic pollster who worked on Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign. “Now you have a half-dozen issue positions that candidates are embracing, even moderate candidates are embracing, that wouldn’t have happened without progressive candidates in these primaries pushing for it.”
