London - US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday her Democratic Party must avoid the"menace" of liberal policies pushed by rising political stars if it wants to beat President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
But she made explicitly clear that new Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- an emerging force in US politics who is often simply referred to as AOC -- and fellow young progressives elected in 2018 represented only the margins of American society. Pelosi touted her own liberal upbringing and accomplishments representing the deeply Democratic voters of San Francisco.
But her stay has coincided with an ugly war of words that has pitted Trump against the new breed of Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar. Yet Omar's comments about US political backing for Israel being fuelled by money from a pro-Israel lobbying group led to criticism from both sides of the political aisle.
