Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Wades Into Tennessee Primary, Endorsing Justin J. Pearson
Source ↗ 👁 1 💬 0

Ocasio-Cortez is backing Tennessee state Rep. Justin J. Pearson in the 9th Congressional District, which will be a tough win for Democrats after Republicans scrambled to gerrymander it earlier this year thanks to the Supreme Court’s gutting of a key portion of the Voting Rights Act
