Valerie Jarrett Dodges on Whether Ocasio-Cortez Is the Future of the Party

‘I think the future is the diversity of our country’

EXCERPT:

McCAIN: "Do you think future congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the future?"
JARRETT: "I think our future is the diversity of our country, and that’s why I’m encouraging everybody to vote. I don’t — (Applause) — I don’t think that there is just one face to the Democratic Party. There is obviously not just one face to the Republican Party, and so my emphasis is how can we get more people civically engaged? Minimally they should vote. How do we get them running for office? The fact that 500 women are running for office I think will do wonders for Congress, right?"
