Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t completely buy that she beat incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley in last month’s Democratic primary simply because it’s the “year of the woman.”

“Well, I think that the factors ultimately created our win was the fact that we had bold commitments and I campaigned on hard commitments of Medicare for all, tuition-free public college, ensuring a Green New Deal for our future,” she said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday. “And championing those issues were the reason that we won.”

Ocasio-Cortez, 28, let out a sigh when asked whether gender was a factor in her stunning win over the longtime Queens political boss.

“You know, I think in this moment, there’s a confluence of factors that makes this moment inspiring,” she said. “Right now more women than ever are running for office and I do think that women want representation in Congress, absolutely.”

Ocasio-Cortez pointed out how Congress remains about 80 percent male, which “creates blind spots in our legislation” with lawmakers often overlooking programs like paid family leave, maternal and paternal leave, and issues like income inequality between men and women.

Host Margaret Brennan indicated that House Democrats are led by a woman, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who made history when she became the first female speaker of the House back in 2007.

While many progressive Democrats have said they wouldn’t support Pelosi again for the leadership post, Ocasio-Cortez left the door open.

“There is no decision about the party leader until we win the House first,” Ocasio-Cortez said, answering in the affirmative when Brennan asked if she’d consider endorsing Pelosi for speaker.

Ocasio-Cortez appeared on the news show alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) after the two campaigned last for progressive candidates in Kansas, which has been a Republican-friendly state since the 1990s.

“It’s certainly surreal,” said Ocasio-Cortez, a former organizer for Sanders. “Just two years ago we were both in St. Mary’s Park in the South Bronx,” she said, referring to one of the campaign rallies Sanders held in New York when he was vying for the Democratic nomination in 2016.

“I was in the crowd with thousands of other people across ages, races, creeds, incomes and to be here two years later pushing that revolution in Kansas is pretty amazing,” she added.

Sanders said he believed there was hope for Democrats even in traditionally red states like Kansas.

“I happen to believe passionately, that there really is not a blue-state, red-state division in this country,” Sanders said. “I think there’s a lot of mythology attached to that.”

The Vermont independent listed off a number of his trademark issues that he believed most Americans agreed with: healthcare as a right, the rich paying higher taxes, the minimum wage as a living wage.

“So whether you’re in Kansas or the Bronx or in Vermont we have common interests and common aspirations and we have got to fight for an America that works for all of us, not just the 1 percent,” Sanders said.
