Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s not even a member of Congress yet, but House Democrats are already caving to her demands.
On Tuesday, House Democrats agreed to a proposal with Ocasio-Cortez and progressives that will make it easier to raise taxes.
Democrats agreed to scrap a rule that would have required a three-fifths super-majority vote to pass any new tax increases.
The New York Democrat celebrated the move on Twitter just how many imagined — making it all about herself.
“When I first won, folks said we were too naive, inexperienced, and uninformed to be effective. Yet in our first weeks, we elevated Green New Deal to national urgency, secured 30 cosponsors on a Select Committee, and helped stop a bad tax rule. I’d say we’re off to a good start,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.
