Rep. Gerry Connolly defeated Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to lead Democrats on the Oversight and Accountability Committee in the next Congress .

The win was forecast a day earlier , when the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee voted to recommend the seat to Connolly .

The full Caucus voted by secret ballot to give him the coveted seat.

Connolly ’s victory required him to overcome health problems that have led to the downfall of other ranking members this cycle.

The Virginia Democrat announced last month that he has esophagus cancer.

Other ranking members haven’t fared as well. Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) was nudged out of his ranking position amid treatment for lung cancer.
