AOC reportedly raking in the dough, building a massive political team and ‘money machine’
June 21, 2020 | Robert Jonathan
First-term Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is spending a lot of money but also raking in a lot of money for her political war chest and to fund a political “army.â€
The far-left New York City Democrat with a national following, in part based on a social media presence, is “building a massive political team and an even bigger money machine,†The Hill reported.
As part of the political ambitions of the aggressive Trump foe, which includes moving her party even farther to the left (if that’s possible), she reportedly spent $6.3 million through June 3, which includes $3.2 million on Facebook ads since May 2018, evidently more than any other candidate.
This spending spree is occurring as AOC attempts to fend off a primary challenge from former CNBC anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, who reportedly has raised $2 million from business interests.
AOC has also raised $10.5 million in small donations for her second-term bid. The AOC campaign reportedly has spent $1.2 million on Facebook ads just in this cycle.
