A senior Democratic official confirmed to Fox News that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will make a prime-time appearance at next week’s Democratic National Convention. Ocasio-Cortez was a supporter and high-profile surrogate for the populist senator during the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, as Sanders made his second White House bid. The Democratic convention will be anchored in Milwaukee, Wis., but nearly all the speakers will be virtual. Party officials also announced that nearly 1,000 crowdsourced videos from the roughly 4,000 Democratic convention delegates and other Americans will be featured during the four nights of prime-time programming. Progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts – another former 2020 Democratic presidential contender – and 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton – will also reportedly speak next week.
