AOC, Cuomo in battle over billionaires in New York
Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls for a billionaire's tax for struggling New York while Gov. Andrew Cuomo fears billionaires won't return.
Rapper Cardi B is all in for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in 2024.
"She better run for president when she turns 35," the “WAP” rapper wrote of Ocasio-Cortez after seeing a video of the New York congresswoman dancing to her song “Bodak Yellow” while discussing access to dental care.
Ocasio-Cortez quickly responded on Twitter, writing, "Women Against Patriarchy (WAP) 2020,” using the acronym from the singer's new song title -- but substituting a more G-rated meaning.
In this election season, both Cardi B and Ocasio-Cortez supported U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., for the Democratic presidential nomination until Sanders ended his candidacy.

On Friday, she posted an Instagram Story, showing off the new clear plastic retainer she got to straighten her teeth – while dancing to Cardi B.
"I had to GET ELECTED TO CONGRESS for me to afford dental treatment," Ocasio-Cortez, who won her Bronx seat in 2018 after upsetting longtime Democratic incumbent Joseph Crowley in a primary and then later beating a Republican. "This is my first time having health insurance in years, and even THEN it didn't really cover the cost of this -- but it did cover other doc appts so I could more easily save."

"In other words, I got a bag and fixed my teeth. EXCEPT YOU SHOULDN'T NEED A BAG TO FIX YOUR TEETH, GET INSULIN, GET HEALTHCARE,” she wrote, quoting a line from the song.
