AOC Admits Democrats Have Too Many Targets for Investigations After Midterm Sweep
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Democrats face a difficult choice on where to begin their investigations into the Trump administration once they take control of Congress.
“There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,” AOC told reporters. “There are going to be many, many, many investigations, I imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.”
The comments came as House Republicans moved to organize their minority caucus. A reporter noted that is one reason why Republicans tapped Jim Jordan for the job. Tom Emmer of Minnesota is back as the GOP whip.
Democrats campaigned heavily on kitchen-table issues and foreign policy during the 2026 midterms. Their first order of business now appears to be a broad series of probes, subpoenas, and potential impeachment efforts against Trump administration officials rather than any immediate focus on those voter concerns.
