Just a humble congresswoman from the Bronx! AOC describes her fame as a 'phenomenon' - but insists she hasn't lost touch with her constituents (has no plan, lost the internal craving)

**SNIP**

Even in her hometown of New York City, a candidate she backed for mayor was defeated by the more moderate Eric Adams.

The two have developed a fraught relationship, sparring over everything from the city budget and policing to his choice of words when describing some workers as 'low skill.'

And the woke congresswoman has also come under fire in the past for wearing a dress to the celebrity-packed Met Gala with the words 'Tax the Rich' scrawled across the back, with some saying it was hypocritical to wear the dress while attending the ultra-exclusive event full of the wealthy and connected.

Now, AOC finds herself at a crossroads as she struggles to appeal to both liberals in New York City and more moderate voters upstate.

And with Democrats facing an uphill battle to maintain control of the House after this year's midterms, the woke congresswoman is poised to find herself in the minority for the first time.

She is often mentioned as a potential Senate - or even presidential - contender. But she has opted against opportunities to seek higher office, including this year when there was speculation that she might challenge Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat and Senate majority leader, in a primary.

Now, AOC says she doesn't have a clear plan for what comes next for her.

'It´s a common question that I get and it´s not even an intention to be cagey or dismissive. It´s just - I really don´t know,' she said. 'I really do try to assess the landscape and see how I can best serve.'

'Personally - this is - I´m already like way beyond anything that I ever thought was possible for my life,' she added. 'And so, I do not have this internal craving.'

She’s simply lost touch with reality.
