Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is undergoing a staff shakeup, The Intercept reports.
Her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, is leaving to go work for New Consensus, a nonprofit focused on climate issues that's promoting the Green New Deal, albeit not always smoothly. Ocasio-Cortez's communications director, Corbin Trent, will also depart the congresswoman's office and take over communications for her 2020 campaign, instead.
