AOC's teary Iron Dome meltdown dampens her chances against Schumer
Fox News
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has tarnished her chances of a potential Senate run against Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., after she was filmed crying on the House floor following a vote to give another $1 billion to Israel to restore its Iron Dome missile interception system.
Last month, Ocasio-Cortez refused to rule out a primary challenge next year against Schumer, the Senate majority leader, while insisting that the two of them have been "working very closely."
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency, an international news agency and wire service which monitors Jewish voting patterns over time, noted the "vast majority of New York City’s Jews — like all New Yorkers — are registered Democrats." The agency also reported that in metropolitan New York "only 55 percent of Jews say they lean Democratic and 31 percent lean Republican."
Jessica Tarlov, a Fox News contributor and political analyst who serves as senior director of research and consumer insight for Bustle Digital Group, says Ocasio-Cortez should be wary of "crossing Jewish voters."
