Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old democratic socialist who upset veteran incumbent Joe Crowley in a New York congressional primary Tuesday, suggested Wednesday that her victory has farther-reaching implications than House minority leader Nancy Pelosi cares to admit.

During an appearance on CNNโ€™s Erin Burnett OutFront, Ocasio-Cortez was presented a clip of Pelosi cautioning reporters against drawing too many conclusions about the future of the Democratic party from Crowleyโ€™s loss.

โ€œThey made a choice in one districtโ€ Pelosi said in the clip, recorded at a Tuesday press conference. โ€œSo, letโ€™s not get yourself carried away as an expert on demographics and the rest of that. We have an array of genders, generations, geography and the rest โ€” opinion โ€” in our caucus, and weโ€™re very proud of that.โ€

Ocasio-Cortez โ€” a former Bernie Sanders organizer who has called for the abolition of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and advocates Medicare for all and tuition-free higher education โ€” argued that her victory was indicative of a broader Democratic shift to the left.

โ€œYeah, well, you know, I think that weโ€™re in the middle of a movement in this country,โ€ she said. โ€œI feel this movement, but that movement is going to happen from the bottom up. That movement is going to come from voters.โ€

โ€œThere are a lot of really exciting races with extremely similar dynamics as mine,โ€ she added. โ€œItโ€™s not just one district.โ€

Asked whether the Democratic leadershipโ€™s advanced age presented a problem for the party, Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the importance of party diversity. โ€œI do think that we do need to elect a generation of new people to Congress in both partiesโ€ฆ.We have to have a diversity of age represented in Congress, too,โ€ she said.

Asked Wednesday by CNNโ€™s Poppy Harlow whether she would commit to endorsing Pelosi for speaker should the Democrats reclaim the House in the fall, Ocasio-Cortez demurred.

โ€œI think itโ€™s far too early to make those kinds of commitments right now,โ€ she said, adding that Democrats โ€œneed to just focus on winning in November first and then weโ€™ll have the conversation about our leadership.โ€
