But no one worked the crowd into more of a frenzy than Rep.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez(D-N.Y.).
Im here tonight because America has before us a rare and precious opportunity, she said.
Much like the early messaging of the Harris/Walz campaign, Ocasio-Cortezs speech centered on the issues plaguing working-class Americans.

Ocasio-Cortez noted that Republicans often attack her past work as a bartender.
They have attacked me by saying that I should go back to bartending.
Imagine having leaders in the White House who understand that.
Ocasio-Cortez wasnt the only speaker to do so on Monday.
So for us in the labor movement, its real simple.
