A senior House Democrat tells Axios: "We've all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency"

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) sharply criticized an anonymous “senior Democrat” on Sunday for being quoted as saying the party was “resigned” to another four years under former President Trump.

In a post on the social platform X, Ocasio-Cortez stated that Democratic members who feel this way should “absolutely retire” from their positions in Congress.

“If you’re a ‘senior Democrat’ that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X.

“This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people,” she added. “Retire.”

Ocasio-Cortez's comments were in response to a report from Axios about a shift among Democrats, who are now more focused on their staffs' personal safety rather than on President Biden’s viability as the party’s presidential nominee.

“We’ve all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency,” a senior House Democrat said in the Axios story.

Both Democrats and Republicans have largely signaled an effort to strike a unified tone in the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump’s life.

The Biden campaign has paused political activity, even taking down political advertising for the time being.
