Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Alexan­dria Oca­sio-Cortez (D‑NY) said recent­ly on CNN’s “State of the Union” that she will be work­ing hard to make sure Demo­c­ra­t­ic can­di­dates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock beat incum­bent Sen­a­tor. David Per­due (R‑GA) and Kel­ly Loef­fler (R‑GA) in upcom­ing Sen­ate runoff elections.

Anchor Jake Tap­per said, “Biden is plan­ning a wave of exec­u­tive orders to roll back some of Trump’s poli­cies once he takes office, on every­thing from cli­mate to the so-called Mus­lim ban. As of now, how­ev­er, it looks as though Repub­li­cans, at least until Jan­u­ary, will hold con­trol of the Sen­ate. That’s going to com­pli­cate your desire and the desire of oth­er pro­gres­sives for bold, sweep­ing, pro­gres­sive leg­is­la­tion. I mean, the­o­ret­i­cal­ly, you can pass any­thing you want in the House, but it doesn’t mat­ter if it goes to die in the Sen­ate. How are you going to nego­ti­ate that? Are you going to work with more mod­er­ate Sen­ate Repub­li­cans to try to pass some­thing in the House that can get through the Senate?”
