“#Millions raised by GOP can’t stop AOC from cruising to reelection<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will easily win reelection back to Congress following a race that attracted millions in donations even though the outcome was in little doubt.<\/p>\n

The Democrat social<\/a>ist netted 69 percent of the ballots cast during early voting and on Election Day, while Republican challenger John Cummings scored just 30 percent, with 94 percent of precincts reporting.<\/p>\n

NBC called Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s victory just an hour after polls closed in New York City.<\/p>\n

These results do not include any votes from the 1.1 million-plus absentee ballots mailed to voters across New York City, who opted to skip in-person voting during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s embattled Board of Elections was not immediately to say how many absentee ballots were mailed out for this district, where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 6 to 1.<\/p>\n

Under state law, the BOE cannot begin to tally the absentee ballots until after Election Day. Officials say they plan to begin the count on Monday.<\/p>\n

The 14th Congressional District sprawls across western Queens and parts of The Bronx and is among the most Democratic districts in the country. But, that didn\u2019t stop money from pouring into the race from supporters and opponents of Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n

The congresswoman\u2019s campaign raised more than $17 million, while GOP donors ponied up more than $9 million for Cummings\u2019 campaign.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez has become one of the most recognized faces of New York changing congressional delegation.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, New York City voters looked set to add two new Democratic lawmakers to the Big App<\/a>le\u2019s congressional delegation:<\/p>\n
