Every member of the progressive Democratic group known as “The Squad” voted for Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker during a Sunday vote for the new 117th Congress.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was asked about her vote afterward on Capitol Hill, to which she told reporters that she did not want to risk giving Republicans the speakership due to the slim majority. There were only five Democrats who did not vote for Pelosi, none of which are in “The Squad.”
“Well, you know, I think when you look at the razor-thin margin … We are just an extremely slim amount of votes away from risking the speakership to the Republican party and this is, it’s, it’s bigger than any one of us and that is consequential. But I also think it’s important that we realize that what kind of communities, which communities and all of the communities that, that creates Democratic power, power,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters on the Hill.
