The story is urgent, and the stakes are highâfor the country and the worldâand Grim, an experienced political reporter who covered the Squad before they were the Squad, is uniquely qualified to tell it. When Bernie Sanders, an obscure Vermont senator, launched his quixotic 2016 presidential campaign, few could have seen just how radically the Democratic Party would transform in just a few short yearsâor that such a transformation could be led by a Bronx bartender volunteering for Bernie in her spare time. The world as it was when that campaign began is almost unrecognizable today, and the Squad has both shaped and been shaped by the seismic social, cultural, and political changes underway. Referred to informally as the Squad, led by the preternaturally politically savvy Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the group laid down a marker for an aggressive left-wing agenda. Grim takes you behind the scenes as that new energy makes impact with Washington, and the Squad spends as much time fending off assaults from Donald Trumpâwho regularly singled them out and led chants of âsend them backâ at ralliesâas they did battling their own partyâs sclerotic leadership. As theyâve grown in office, theyâve had to contend with the eternal question that confronts outsiders who power their way into the inside: Are they still radical organizers willing and able to lead a political revolution? 541 $d 20231205. 600 1 $a Ocasio-Cortez, Alexandria, $d 1989- 610 4 $a Democratic Party (U.S.) 648 7 $a 2000 - 2099. 650 7 $a Politics and government. 650 $a Progressivism (United States politics.) 650 7 $a Women legislators $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Legislators $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 651 7 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2017-2021. 651 7 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2017- 941 $a 1 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20240314011512.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6F228526E1C811EE94D662C22BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
