With AOC's backing, Democrats are optimistic about their chances of winning back the House and retaining control of the Senate, which would allow them to continue working towards a more equitable and just society.

As one of the most recognizable faces in the Democratic party, AOC's decision to focus her efforts on the House race in 2024 is sure to have a significant impact on the political landscape in the coming months. Her supporters will undoubtedly be watching closely as she works to help the party regain control of the House, and her leadership on the issues she cares about will continue to inspire and motivate progressive voters across the country.
