---Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old woman who defeated powerful Democratic Congressman Joe Crowley in one of the most shocking upsets so far of the 2018 primaries, appeared on the "Late Show" on Thursday with Stephen Colbert. She talked to Colbert about her reaction after winning as a first-time candidate in New York's 14th congressional district and about what her support for democratic socialism means.
She described the moment she learned about her win at her election-night watch party.
"It was an old billiards hall in the Bronx," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I hadn't checked any of the polls on my phone, and we get out, and I go, 'Oh my God' outside because I see all these reporters running to the watch party. ... I'm literally racing these reporters into the billiards hall, and I run inside, and I just run to this TV set and I look up and I see the margin, and then I see the amount of precincts reporting. And that's how I found out that we won the election. Right there in that moment."---
