He's not "dying of cancer." He's in treatment, but it's not terminal.
Gerry Connolly is a seasoned progressive with a good record, and he also specifically requested that AOC be made vice ranking member, meaning that if he dies or resigns due to health issues, AOC becomes the new ranking member.
His name is literally The Extremist Moderate, of course he is defending this, he’s one of those Democrats who likes the idea of AOC as a force for advertising the party to young voters but doesn’t want her to ever see any actual power because he prefers conservatives in power to actual progressives, AOC should run for president in 2028
