[Celerity]

Darializa Avila Chevalier sent shockwaves through the political world when she won the Democratic primary against the five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat. She joins Ali Velshi to discuss the scrutiny she's facing over her past statements, controversial views, and where she goes from here.

1. "finding progressive challengers to unseat democrats" - what other party wants to unseat democrats?

2. My hope is that she learns how to get things done

and doesn’t turn into the next Nina Turner.

3. Best of luck to her. We need these kinds of voices just as we need voices of other kinds of progressives. She is

going to face all kinds of smears, labels, misogyny, judging, etc.. She won easily and I believe she will look after her district, perhaps in an unpolished way, but with honesty.
