Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Serve on House Financial Services Committee
The New York lawmaker, who has become a sensation among progressives, will nearly certainly join the House Financial Services Committee after a group of fellow Democrats on the party's steering committee voted to recommend her for the panel on Tuesday, according to people familiar with the matter.
"She just takes us back to the big-spending, big-taxing Democratic Party, and the Democratic Party is not going to succeed that way", he said.
Even if it didn't, Oscasio-Cortez's ensuing comment about Trump's income could strike a nerve: Trump has long claimed to be a self-made billionaire, although a landmark New York Times report in October claimed $413 million of his empire was from his father. It oversees big banks, lending, and the financial sector.
The 29-year-old Democratic socialist claimed on Twitter that she understood Trump "like the back of my hand", comparing him to men she encountered bartending in NY. But the second vote will likely be akin to a rubber stamp now that the steering committee has already approved her membership.

While she meant she and her fellow liberal Democrats would enthusiastically pursue their agenda items, "run train" is known as a crude sexual term, which is sometimes used to denote acting in an aggressive manner.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez replied to the former governor's tweet, but instead of targeting the lesson toward fifth graders, she more specifically directed her tweet to "a far-right former Governor".
Representative Maxine Waters, a California Democrat, will lead the financial services panel.
