AOC declares victory in fight for Green New Deal 5 years later: 'Social and ecological transformation'
Fox News
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declared victory in her fight for a Green New Deal, saying President Biden has pursued her vision but called for additional "transformation."
"What an incredible, amazing day. Five years ago, we introduced a 10-year vision for social and ecological transformation big enough to save our planet. The Green New Deal," Ocasio-Cortez remarked. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"When we unveiled the Green New Deal, the critics jumped against it nearly immediately," she added. "They said it was an impossible dream, too impractical and not serious enough. And today we can say that they were wrong. In the last five years, we have made major strides in tackling the climate crisis and creating millions of jobs by building together a diverse coalition of people committed to a better future."
