'Damning silence': Swing-seat Democrat stays quiet after AOC voices support

A Democratic House hopeful vying for one of the nation's most competitive districts is staying silent after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., voiced support for her campaign. 

Ocasio-Cortez, a leftist firebrand with growing influence in the Democratic Party, congratulated former Biden administration official Cait Conley on her primary victory in a social media post Wednesday.

"I look forward to working together as a delegation as we fight for working families across New York," Ocasio-Cortez wrote.
