AOC trashes Democrats for closing ranks around Biden, rejecting primary challengers
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Democrats who pushed former President Joe Biden out were the same ones who closed ranks against a primary process when it mattered most.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took aim at members of her own party on Thursday in a podcast interview for closing ranks around former President Joe Biden.
"The Majority Report" host Emma Vigeland asked Ocasio-Cortez about how the Democrats lost credibility on the issue of democracy.
The host said the Democrats boxed out voters with "the genocide in Gaza" and Biden's run for re-election with no real Democratic primary.
"When Kamala Harris was going around and talking about democracy with a banner behind her, they didn't have the credibility that they needed to fight this fascist threat," the host said.
