Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said she believes it’s time for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to step aside, but there’s no one ready to replace them.

Ocasio-Cortez, who has recently won reelection for her House seat, said during an interview with The Intercept that the Democratic Party needs a new leadership.
