Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and "The Squad" won re-election to Congress When the "sisterhood" defeats Trump
While the U.S. is in suspense to see if their new president will be Donald Trump or Joe Biden, good news comes: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been re-elected to the House. Together with her, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib, the group of progressive parliamentarians nicknamed The Squad, reconfirm their position.
Our sisterhood is resilient. - Omar tweeted commenting on The Squad's new victory.
Meanwhile, Pressley wrote:
Together, we have fought for our shared humanity. We have organised. We have mobilised. We have legislated our values. I am so proud to be your Congresswoman and your partner in the work. I believe in the power of us. And we’re just getting started.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who got almost 69% preference in the 14th District of New York first tweeted:
Thank you to the Bronx & Queens for re-electing me to the House despite the millions spent against us, & trusting me to represent you once more.
And then she posted a smiling image of herself along with the other three deputies, accompanied by an ironic but eloquent comment addressed to Trump:
When your sisterhood is so powerful the President of the United States can’t stop thinking about it.
While we wonder if Donald Trump or Joe Biden will be the new president of the United States, the only fact is that America is in the mood for democracy and inclusion, as confirmed by the support for The Squad, increased by about 30,000 votes compared to the 2018 primaries, to which are added the elections of the first transgender senator, Sarah McBride in Delaware, and the first African American gay congressman, Ritchie Torres in New York.
