Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, a former anchor at CNBC, said on Tuesday that she’s challenging Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in the Democratic primary later this year.
Ocasio-Cortez, 30, stunned political observers in 2018 when she defeated longtime incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.) and took the seat representing New York’s 14th District, which includes parts of the boroughs of Queens and the Bronx. She’s drawn media attention from both sides of the spectrum for her positions, comments, and actions.
