Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly narrowly secured a recommendation from his colleagues to lead Democrats on the House Oversight panel, edging out New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. However, Ocasio-Cortez is anticipated to challenge the decision before the full House Democratic caucus on Tuesday, as per three sources familiar with the matter.
During the selection process, Connolly garnered 34 votes, while Ocasio-Cortez received 27 votes, according to two sources briefed on the outcome.
