The campaign also highlighted Ocasio-Cortez’s contribution to the Democratic infighting plaguing the party with her attacks on Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., over his opposition to President Biden’s Build Back Better bill.
Additionally, the campaign got candid with the New York Democrat’s supporters about the congresswoman’s dwindling financial support.
"But, candidly, our fundraising has slowed down since the summer months this year, and we’re relying on your support today to get back on track, hit this goal, and keep Alexandria in Congress fighting for bold solutions for working families," the email reads.
