Ocasio-Cortez pokes fun at Trump's suggestion to 'keep trying' to lead Democrats

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) poked fun at President-elect Trump's encouragement for her to "keep trying" after the congresswoman lost the vote to be the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee in the upcoming Congress.

"You know it’s bad when even Trump is feeling bad for me," Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a post on the social media platform X Wednesday.

Her response was to an earlier post from Trump on Truth Social, which encouraged her after the congresswoman lost the vote.
