For those who might be out of the loop, the Vice President has the power to override the parliamentarian who is holding up the vote on increasing the minimum wage to $15. Meaning, if Kamala Harris chooses not to override the parliamentarian, she'll effectively be blocking the vote on something she says she supports - increasing the minimum wage to $15/hour. AOC is aware of this, and yesterday said Harris needs to "override the parliamentarian." Unless Harris uses this power, AOC knows absolutely nothing will come out of this Congress, setting up the Democrats for historic losses in 2022 (and perhaps paving the way for Trump or someone worse in 2024).
