It’s no secret that Democratic lawmakers have grown tired of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her never-ending stunts.
AOC’s re-election chances have been in flux in recent weeks amid slumping poll numbers and the looming 2020 Census, which could give New York lawmakers the opportunity to eliminate AOC’s House seat, which would remove her from Congress.
Now, Ocasio-Cortez has been removed from the progressive union-backed Working Families Party (WFP) ballot line by a New York State Supreme Court judge, another blow to her competitive Democratic primary fight.
AOC removed from the primary ballot after receiving only 13 signatures from members of the progressive group. She needed 15 signatures in order to get on the ballot.
For perspective, there are currently 5,903 active members of the party in Queens and the Bronx.
She couldn’t get 15 signatures for the WFP line out of 5,903 possible members.
Martin O’Connor — the attorney for AOC’s Democrat opponent Michelle Caruso-Cabrera — says Ocasio-Cortez will not be on the WFP ballot line in the November general election.
