Cardi B, who has been candid about her interest in political science and the presidency, recently teamed up with a Democratic presidential candidate whom she has long admired: Sen. Bernie Sanders.
The lineups for the second round of Democratic presidential debates were released Thursday night, with Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont appearing on the first night and former Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris, who butted heads in the last debate, facing off on the second night.
"You can get on all the political shows as much as you want, but that’s not really only where the audience is," candidate Julián Castro said.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old Bernie Sanders campaign organizer with no electoral experience, celebrates her shocking win over incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley on Tuesday night at a victory party in the Bronx.
Ocasio-Cortez ran a bare-bones campaign and was outspent by an 18-1 margin. She argued that Crowley had lost touch with his diverse district, both ideologically and demographically, in part due to spending so much time in Washington.
Crowley, the Queens Democratic party boss who has spent two decades in Congress, was thought to have an inside track to become the next House speaker if Democrats win back the majority in November.
