Freshman Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won her first primary as an incumbent, defeating former longtime CNBC correspondent and anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera in Tuesday's Democratic primary election for New York's 14th Congressional District. "What you all have shown is that a people's movement here is not an accident, it is a mandate," Ocasio-Cortez said on a livestream Tuesday night.

New York's 14th District, which includes parts of the Bronx and Queens, is heavily Democratic and considered to be a reliably blue seat. It was formerly held for years by veteran Democrat Joe Crowley, who Ocasio-Cortez defeated in a major upset in the 2018 midterm elections.

Ocasio-Cortez, who has in her first term in office become a national progressive icon, had significant advantages in the race, including strong national name recognition, devoted supporters and significant fundraising. She had raised more than $10.5 million, an amount that vastly exceeds the fundraising totals of any of her challengers.
