NextImg:AOC wins Democratic primary over former Wall Street banker Marty Dolan

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez handily won her Democratic primary over a conservative-backed challenger Tuesday.

The far-left “Squad” member racked up enough votes to beat back a challenge from political newcomer Marty Dolan, according to the Associated Press, which called the race less than 20 minutes after polls closed at 9 p.m.

The primary contest spilled beyond the confines of the 14th Congressional District’s Bronx and Queens boundaries, in large part because of Ocasio-Cortez’s national profile — and perhaps because of a conservative Texas group’s shaky grasp of New York City geography.

The Texas-based Job Creators Network put up billboards in Times Square — far from the district — blasting the lefty congresswoman and endorsing Dolan, a former Wall Street investor.

“Hey AOC!” the billboard blared. “Time to pack it up.”

Back in the deep-blue district, the three-term Ocasio-Cortez is expected to keep her seat in the Nov. 5 general election.
