Senior Democrat Gerry Connolly beats out AOC in key vote for top party post on Oversight panel
The race between Connolly and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had been seen as a fight over seniority as younger Democrats pushed for new blood and generational change.
The closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, which is closely aligned with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., yielded 34 votes for Connolly and 27 for Ocasio-Cortez, according to a member of the panel. The position opened up after the top Democrat on Oversight, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., challenged Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., for a similar post on the Judiciary Committee, prompting Nadler to bow out.

Yet more evidence I am not a Democrat. I wish I didn’t have to be in this party just to try to influence it in primaries.
I really do think they are just controlled opposition at this point. The sooner we realize that, and that electoral politics are not going to be our way out of this the better.
You can't influence it in primaries. If the results don't fit the predetermined narrative then the DNC will simply ignore them.
Examples of the DNC ”ignoring” primary votes?

They flat out zeroed out new Hampshires right to participate in the primary didnt they? So they can clearly pick and choose which votes they count and make up the rules as they go. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/new-hampshire-attorney-general-accuses-dnc-voter-suppression-rcna132945
