The House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee voted to seat Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-NY) and not her New York colleague the Hon. Rep. Alexandria Overtly-Commie, better known as AOC except to those in the GOP who must call her by her over-achieving honorific. The seat appointment must have greatly upset the New York congresswoman because she thinks she's all that and a bag of chips.
It turns out that Rice kicked the crap out of AOC, 46 to 13, possibly due to AOC's rhetoric that caused Amazon to back out of a deal that would have given New Yorkers 25,000 high paying jobs and provided the state with a boatload of payroll tax cash. The fact that AOC bragged about the outcome may have put the final nail in the process.

Another possible reason AOC was not voted in for the job in the Energy and Commerce Committee may have to do with her lack of understanding of basic economics, in spite of that being her college major. She could have written the Green New Deal out on oaktag, in crayon, and nobody with a basic understanding of the economy would have thought any less of it than they actually did.
It got zero votes in the House.
Reps. Angie Craig, (D-MN); Lizzie Fletcher, (D-TX); Kim Schrier, (D-WA); and Lori Trahan, (D-MA), will all join Rice on the Energy and Commerce Committee.
The Energy and Commerce Committee handles some of the most critical legislation in the House, from the environment to health care to nuclear facilities. Its site says that it "has the broadest jurisdiction of any authorizing committee in Congress."
Imagine someone like AOC, who sees farting cows and clean nuclear energy as the biggest threat to the environment, as the head of this committee.
AOC's defeat comes after she entering her second term and attacked Democratic leadership in Congress in an interview on "The Intercept" this week.
AOC also backed leftist primary challengers against a number of her Democrat colleagues in the hope of turning the country into Venezuela.
Reps. Angie Craig, (D-MN); Lizzie Fletcher, (D-TX); Kim Schrier, (D-WA); and Lori Trahan, (D-MA), will all join Rice on the Energy and Commerce Committee.
Biden will now have five more women whose hair will be available for his olfactory pleasure.
The nominations are not yet final and will need to go to the full Democratic Caucus, but they are expected to be approved.
