Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been criss-crossing the country, attracting some of the largest crowds of their careers.

Progressives view it as a new opening to pull the party in a more populist direction.

Moderate Democrats worry they could turn the party to the left at a time when it is rudderless.

Ocasio-Cortez's message is resonating in part because of the alternative in Washington , a former aide to Sanders says.

"We're living this oligarchy right now,” he said. “Everything that Bernie believes and warned us about was on display at the inauguration when the oligarchs of this country sat in front of the Cabinet nominees.”.
