Revenge of the moderates: AOC loses coveted Energy and Commerce committee seat

By Thomas A. Smith

In the end, Rep. Rice crushed AOC. The vote was 46-13. A lopsided victory that suggests a lot of House Democrats aren t fans of her take-no-prisoners approach toward more moderate members.

Rice s win was somewhat surprising because she had previously refused to support Pelosi for Speaker and been denied a committee assignment because of it. Pelosi apparently got over that. Or maybe she looked at her reduced majority in the House and decided AOC was a bigger threat to her continuing as Speaker than Rep. Rice.
