Gerry Connolly Wins House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Role Over AOC with 131-84 Vote
Dec 17, 2024, 05:16 PM
Rep. Gerry Connolly, aged 74, has been elected as the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, defeating 35-year-old Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a vote among House Democrats. The final tally was 131 votes for Connolly and 84 for Ocasio-Cortez. This decision reflects a preference for Connolly's experience and seniority over Ocasio-Cortez's push for generational change within the party. Connolly, who has served on the committee since 2009 and is currently battling cancer, will lead Democrats on the committee as they prepare to counter the incoming Trump administration. The vote underscores internal Democratic Party dynamics, with Connolly's victory seen as a win for the establishment, bolstered by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's support.
