Radical New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned Joe Biden not to marginalise the party’s insurgent wing when he enters the White House. With the Democrats still celebrating their election triumph, Ms Ocasio-Cortez signalled, in an interview with the New York Times, the difficulties Mr Biden will face holding together a coalition of moderates and the left once he enters the White House. While Mr Biden is on course for a comprehensive victory, the Democrats lost ground in the House and failed to capture several Senate seats which they had hoped to flip.
