Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is clearing up the pregnancy rumors after a Republican member asked her whether she was expecting on the House floor this week. In an Instagram story video, Ocasio-Cortez responded to a user asking if she was pregnant because she was “glowing.” “Everyone keeps asking me if I’m pregnant,” she said. “Actually, a member, a Republican, came to me on the floor this week and asked me if I was pregnant.” She then went on to dispel the rumors, giving a reason to why people may be asking. “I’m not pregnant guys,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I had a lot of food at Thanksgiving, OK? It happens.” The congresswoman from New York made headlines this week after running to be a top Democrat for the House Oversight Committee, and losing. Reports circulated that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was working against Ocasio-Cortez. Rep. Gerry Connolly, who Pelosi was reportedly making calls for, won by a margin of 131 to 84. Even President-elect Donald Trump sent his sarcastic condolences to her. “Really too bad that AOC lost the Battle for the Leadership Seat in the Democrat Party,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “She should keep trying. Someday, she will be successful!”
