I have no idea. Her district is safely blue, but whether she keeps the seat depends on a myriad of things. She won her primary because of low turnout. If her district has low turnout in the next election or she impresses those who didn't turn out then to vote for her the second time around, she'll be fine. If she pisses them off, though, there could be a different outcome.
I suppose it's feasible that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28 year old bartender from the Bronx, becomes a disaster. When you say it like that, it is possible. And her district will turn against her and pick someone else.
But I'd bet against it for a host of reasons. She won because she's genuine and now she is beloved by a generation.
What AOC is doing right now is so remarkable. I don't think you really grasp it. For those who follow her on social media, we feel like we are going through government with her. She is a real life Mr. Smith. Sure, she has a small host of policy gaffes. Hey, I'll take my side's policy gaffes over the other side's any day of the week. But she is a rare thing in my life: a Democrat who fights back. Think if we had that in 2000! In 2004! Her enemies (on both sides) are terrified to go after her. Every single day, an entire news network goes after her... and they haven't landed one blow! And what's more, she is incredibly charming while doing it. She has excellent political instincts. And she brings an urgency to her fight that a lot of young people feel.
One more thing...Can you find me a tweet of Donald Trump going after her? Maybe you can, but isn't it strange that he doesn't go after her every day like Fox news? I'd bet any amount of money she terrifies him.
