Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sought to appeal to the middle class during her speech on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention .

The New York Democrat argued that America has a “rare and precious opportunity” with Vice President Kamala Harris as the party nominee.

Her remarks come as Democrats try to project party unity following Biden ’s withdrawal from the presidential race.

The process was reportedly backed by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) during a California delegation meeting on July 10 . Despite her warnings, however, Democrats , including Ocasico-Cortez , quickly coalesced behind Harris to succeed Biden after he endorsed her following his exit from the race. In her statement pledging her support for Harris , Ocasico-Cortez stated it was “crucial that our party and country swiftly unite to defeat Donald Trump .”.
