Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York on Sunday slammed an unnamed “Democratic leader” who said Democrats had “given up” to another four years of governing under former President Trump.
In a post on the social platform “X,” Ocasio-Cortez said any Democrats who feel that way should “absolutely” retire from Congressional office.

“This kind of leadership is effectively useless to the American people,” she added. “Retire.”
