Summary
Ocasio Cortez Close To LOSING Her Seat In Congress, Bail Reform BACKFIRED And Democrats Declare War. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has been waging a massive battle against establishment Democrats for some time now and they have responded in kind.
The far left candidate has seen her popularity collapse in national polls and swing state polls and her recent push for bail reform in new York has backfired tremendously with a massive 43 point swing from favorable to unfavorable.
Now she is facing a major challenge in the upcoming primary which is in only 4 months and Democrats are poised to eliminate her district outright in the 2020 census.
AOC has poked the bear and the bear is poking back and it seems likely she won't survive her reelection.
But her victory was a fluke and now the american people have a chance to respond.

| 0:00.0 | Every day we get closer to the removal of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from Congress. |
| 0:06.0 | In just four months from today, we will see a primary in her district, and she is facing several |
| 0:12.5 | Democratic primary challengers. This is the first pitfall. She only got around 17,000 votes in the |
| 0:18.1 | first primary, and she knows she could be removed. Going as far as to say, I'm not going to come here |
| 0:24.1 | every two years asking for your votes. I want to invest in this community. That quote alone says to |
| 0:29.2 | me, she knows she might not win this primary. Outside of that, she's facing a ton of Republican |
| 0:35.1 | challengers in the general election. Now, I'm not super worried for her in that regard because I'm |
| 0:40.0 | not sure Republican could win, but hey, it's possible. But more importantly, the Democratic |
| 0:44.8 | establishment controls redistricting for her district, and it's very likely they are going to |
| 0:50.3 | remove her district. At least that's what many people think. From all of the data we can see, |
| 0:55.4 | it looks like she's very unpopular. And one of the biggest pitfalls for AOC lately has been |
| 1:00.8 | bail reform, which is not popular in New York, and even Governor Cuomo is taking a hit because of it. |
| 1:08.0 | She is now coming out saying, no, please wait. We just passed this law. We must give it time. |
| 1:13.6 | But already we're hearing of crime sprees and crime or a revolving door of crime because bail |
| 1:18.6 | reform, for those that aren't familiar, basically says that for certain low-level crimes, |
| 1:23.0 | they can't charge cash, a cash bond, which means someone accused of a crime can just get right out |
| 1:28.7 | and people in New York are not happy with this. So AOC is launching an offensive to try and keep her seat. |
| 1:35.8 | But I think she knows the Democrats will redistrict and she will lose. The district will be gone. |
| 1:42.3 | She won't have a seat to run for. Now she can try and run and whatever district ends up |
| 1:45.4 | becoming her district, but then she'll be up against an incumbent, which would be pretty difficult. |
| 1:50.2 | Already she's called for mass census participation in an effort to keep her district safe as well |
| 1:56.8 | as mass voter turnout because she says she needs 60,000 votes if she's going to win in this primary. |
