Democratic Representative from New York Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez provided $450,000 in financial support to three Democratic Senate candidates, in a move aimed at boosting the party's chances in fiercely contested states. Ocasio-Cortez transferred $150,000 each to Troy Jackson in Maine, Mary Peltola in Alaska, and Angie Nixon in Florida, on the final weekend of the midterm election campaign. She said the three candidates represent working-class Americans, and their victories could bring significant change to the Senate. This contribution is part of her efforts to strengthen ties with Democrats across various states, coinciding with her consideration of a potential presidential run in 2028 or a bid for Chuck Schumer's Senate seat. Jackson and Nixon, who hold progressive views, have political ties with Ocasio-Cortez, while Peltola is closer to the mainstream Democratic current.
