Boy she said it right, Putting the needs of working families before special interests❤️

Free lunch for children saves a parent so much money and time. And every child is guaranteed to be fed well = more focus in class.

[Redoctobermach]

Yea AOC keep standing for the working class.

[MrMountainchris]

If progressive means feeding kids and giving everyone healthcare, I'm a progressive!

[zukonjs]

she is so right about campaign finance laws.

[mosesnh]

AOC shows a good understanding of the simple things that appeal to ordinary Americans. Excellent interview

[delos]

Weird how the GOP wants everyone to have more kids, even force them to, yet when it comes to helping support them like school meals and child tax credits, they're suddenly against it.

Im an African American Veteran. I share some Conservative and Liberal values. I don’t like how Trump hi jacked the Republican Party and what I don’t like even more is how life long Conservatives put their reputation and careers on the line for him. It showed me that they are opportunistic. I would support the Harris Walz ticket if it were two white women, Asian women, Asian guy and black man. I simply don’t care about race. We can’t let Trump back in he’s a threat to our democracy! Salute and respect to all!

What I loved about the Tim Walz story was unlike J D Vance who was pushed into politics by a tech billionaire. Tim Walz was pushed into politics by his students! So which one do you think will be working for all the people? Fantastic pick Vice President Harris! Harris/Walz 2024!💙💙💙💙

[chailuvgidwani]

She is spot on. We can't forget how broken our campaign finance laws are.

[ronicamcphee]

Progressive means moving forward not backwards.

[Malavander]

"Without talking points"... Hosts are the ones that can't resist relying on talking points. Keep regurgitating the same simplistic labels and narratives with idiotic gotcha questions. Your job as the 4th estate is to inform the public on the issues, not to provoke salacious sound bites. AOC is savvy enough not to take the bait.

[joanhyde]

I admire Rep. Ocasio-Cortez ability to speak so articulately and extemporaneously. She can say what she means unambiguously and forthrightly that she communicates freely.

[redcurrantart]

Love her. She’s always thoughtful and well spoken.

[jgfddsiigv]

Make lobbying illegal! Make them run of issues and not who has the biggest chanel bag

[rubenm]

I hope we see AOC run this country in our lifetime. More experience and track record but she’s on her way there.

[janetclaireSays]

AOC is becoming an experienced statesperson while keeping her core Progressive values.

[flipsolo]

Damn, she is really, really good at this! Articulate and poise. This is not just natural talent, she puts a lot of work on this, and it always shows.

[CaliforniaBushman]

AOC grew up half a mile from my childhood home in Yorktown Hts. We Graduated the same elementary, Middle, and High Schools 23 years apart. Class of 1984 here. Go A.O.C!!

As a Minnesotan, I just have to say it's so great to see the nation come to love Gov. Walz just as we've loved him for 6 years in Minnesota. He truly cares about everyone. Our loss will be the nation's gain.
