Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is seeking to lead the House Oversight Committee, but Pelosi does not support her bid.

Pelosi has publicly supported Rep. Jerry Connelly's bid for office, and has privately made phone calls supporting him.

The Daily Mail reported:

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reportedly working behind the scenes to thwart Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's dream of taking a powerful House seat in the new Congress.

The 35-year-old progressive lawmaker is seeking a seat on the House Oversight Committee after serving as a deputy.

But he will have to defeat Virginia Congressman Jerry Connelly, who also ran for the top committee post himself.

Ms. Pelosi may no longer be in the Democratic House leadership, but she still wields tremendous power and has publicly supported Mr. Connolly for the post.

Behind the scenes, the 84-year-old California Democrat is also reportedly making phone calls on Connolly's behalf, according to a new report from Punchbowl News.
