In a series of Twitter messages, the lawmaker from New York suggested that an untimely death among Democrats could cost the party its slim Senate advantage even sooner than the 2022 midterm elections.
"During the Obama admin," she wrote, "folks thought we’d have a 60 Dem majority for a while. It lasted 4 months."...
"Dems are burning precious time & impact negotiating w/GOP who won’t even vote for a Jan. 6 commission," she continued. "McConnell’s plan is to run out the clock.
"It’s a hustle," she concluded. "We need to move now."
In another message, Ocasio-Cortez referred to Biden’s talks with Senate Republicans as "playing patty-cake."
