She is already eyeing the throne.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ended her dispute with Nancy Pelosi and sat in the President's chair for a ceremonial ceremony as House Leader Friday.
After only 128 days in office, the AOC seized the Pelosi Hammer and led the House for about an hour, becoming the youngest member of Congress to do so – part of a rotation shared by Democratic members, as the majority party in the House.
"It was the first time I was presiding. And it's exciting, "said the 29-year-old journalist.
"It's definitely a sight. I hope we can, I would like that we have the right to take pictures. "
AOC did not have much to do, but still managed to stumble.
She called on members to speak – and misunderstood the states they represented.
"For what purpose does the Ohio gentleman – um, from Illinois, forgive me – ask for recognition?", She said, while Representative Sean Casten, a freshman Dem, was speaking.
Ocasio-Cortez also presided over "special orders". These are usually brief speeches by members of the House at the end of the day, which often address issues of concern in their district.
