Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar are decidedly radioactive to swing voters, who have a highly unfavorable view of both according to Axios bloodbath - with just 22% of those polled having a favorable view of AOC, and 9% when it came to Omar .

We never need to ask for permission or wait for an invitation to lead ," said Omar, confidently - adding that there is a "constant struggle oftentimes with people who have power about sharing that power."
