Young Progressives Name AOC and NYC Mayoral Candidate as Democratic Future Unification Point

Young progressives see Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani as the future of the Democratic Party, but only if they adopt a more pragmatic approach, according to attendees at the Voters of Tomorrow Summit. The young activists believe that Ocasio-Cortez's ability to pass legislation is essential for the party's success. However, some are critical of her inflexible stance on certain issues, suggesting that she needs to be willing to compromise in order to achieve their goals.
