Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will win re-election in New York's 14th Congressional District, The Associated Press projects.

Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) became the youngest female ever to be elected to Congress in 2018, has been known to champion far-left views, sponsoring Green New Deal legislation and supporting the Defund the Police movement.

She is one of the founding members of the progressive group known as "the Squad."

Weeks before her election, the congresswoman held a town hall where she was condemned by anti-war protestors for her support of sending weapons to Ukraine.

Ocasio-Cortez was ahead of GOP challenger Tina Forte by a large margin when the AP called the race.
