Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), who narrowly survived reelection last year in another state that voted strongly for Trump, predicted that Ocasio-Cortez will soon fade from the spotlight.

“I hope she has a great, successful career,” he said but added, “I was here when they elected the guy from Massachusetts and he was a flavor of the month,” referring to former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, a Republican who shocked the political establishment in 2010 when he won the seat long held by liberal legend Ted Kennedy.

“I was a flavor of the month for a while,” Tester said of his own election in a GOP-leaning state in 2006, predicting that the buzz over Ocasio-Cortez will die down sooner or later.
