AOC vs. Hillary: Ohio race a proxy fight for progressives, Dem establishment
|
 [NYPOST] It’s AOC versus Hillary as the two Dem heavyweights duke it out for an open Congressional seat in Ohio — and possibly control of the party.
The raging proxy fight in the Buckeye state’s solidly Democratic 11th District
...portions of Cuyahoga and Summit counties in the Northeast part of the state, including most of the majority-black precincts between Cleveland and Akron and what is described as a “substantial” Jewish population... pits Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal , though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...

and her squad against Clinton and establishment Democrats over who will replace longtime Rep. Marcia Fudge
...Dem Congresswoman for Ohio's 11th congressional district since 2008. She won a special election to succeed Stephanie Tubbs Jones, who gave up her office when carried out feet first. The strangely-shaped, but really not gerrymandered, district includes most of the black-majority areas between Cleveland and Akron. Fudge was Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus in the 113th Congress...
, who retired this year to become Secretary for Housing and Urban Development.
On the progressives’ left is Nina Turner, a former state senator and former co-chair of Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
’ 2020 presidential campaign.
Turner has declared the criminal justice system to be "inherently unjust to black and brown people." She supports New York-style bail reform and "accountability" for law enforcement.
"Defund the police is about reimagining what policing looks like in America," she told The Hill last year, while also criticizing Biden for wanting to increase police budgets.
In full squad form, she declared the United States to be "rooted in racism" and in need of redemption.
The establishment side is represented by Shontel Brown, a chair of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, who is widely seen as more moderate and willing to accommodate President Biden and party leaders.
