Democratic New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she and others find the “loss of the House majority extraordinarily upsetting,” despite the fact that Democrats did not lose their majority in the House of Representatives.

AOC held a virtual town hall meeting Thursday night, during which a constituent asked her to weigh in on Democratic losses during this year’s election.

“I’m in your district in East Elmhurst, and I have a general question about the House, and why did we lose so many seats, and what needs to be done to get them back next term?” read the question from an unidentified constituent.

“So, you know of course, the loss of the House majority is just extraordinarily upsetting to all of us,” Ocasio-Cortez replied, and then made clear she understood the implications of such a loss by adding “It’s upsetting to all of us who are invested in having a Democratic majority so that we can expand healthcare, so that we can raise wages, so that we can protect working people.”
