Les "Badasses" ou les nouvelles élues du congrès américain


Les nouvelles élues des élections de mi-mandat s'expriment ouvertement et remettent en question l'ordre établi. Surtout, ces trente-six recrues n'ont pas l'intention de s'en laisser imposer!

"The new members range from the youngest-ever women in Congress—Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Abby Finkenauer (D-Iowa) were both 29 when elected—to experienced pols such as Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.), who previously served in the 111th, 113th and 114th sessions, and former Clinton Cabinet secretary Donna Shalala (D-Fla.), who at 77 is the oldest female freshman representative in history.

Some of these women—like Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who recently told supporters, “We’re gonna impeach the motherfucker”—have already come out swinging against the president. Others told POLITICO that they’re hopeful the influx of women will lead to a more cooperative and bipartisan legislature. They all, however, seem to hope and believe that their presence will fundamentally change how Washington works. And they’ve already begun."
