OCASIO-CORTEZ: Just look at what happened to Joe Manchin this year. Joe Manchin faced a little-to-no-talked about primary from a woman on the left, Paula Jean Swearengin. I know Paula Jean Swearengin very well. She’s a coal miner’s daughter. She ran on no money, like not only did she run on no corporate money, but she had nothing. In two years, for a United States senator, she raised $179,000 total and you know, like, when you’re figuring stuff out in campaigns, like she really had only $100,000 to actually run that race.
