Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive Democrat from New York, has raised more than $280,000 for grassroots organizations working to elect Democratic senators in the Georgia runoff.

Georgia, which had been carried by Republican presidential candidates in every election going back to 1996, appears to have gone blue for President-elect Joe Biden. Although the southern state will carry out a recount, Biden leads President Donald Trump there by just over 14,000 votes. Analysts expect the result to hold, as recounts rarely change more than a few hundred votes at most.

• Workers are asking for a raise of $1 and increased health care coverage to meet the rising costs. Elected officials — including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — joined the picket line.
• That didn’t take long. She’s been on the job not quite three months, and already Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is demanding a raise. Not that her salary, which at $174,000 a year is probably ten time as much as she was making as a bartender, is anything to sneeze at.
• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez skipped Joe Biden's presidential inauguration to support a strike in the Bronx helping essential workers negotiate higher wages.
• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Discussed Why She Skipped the Inauguration. No, she doesn't 'hate' Joe Biden. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez missed out on the inauguration earlier this week in order to support an important cause.

Both of Georgia's Senate races are also going to runoffs, as none of the candidates secured more than 50 percent of the overall vote. Although a new poll released on Wednesday shows both Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler as slightly favored to hold their seats, Democrats are hopeful they can flip them blue.

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 11, 2019. What this does is punish members who rely on a straight salary, and reward those who rely on money loopholes and other forms of self-dealing. For example, it incentivizes the horrible kinds of legislative looting we saw in the GOP tax scam bill. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 11, 2019.

'Georgia isn't a red state. It's a voter-suppressed state. Last night #TeamAOC mobilized to raise $100k *directly* to grassroots orgs @fairfightaction, @NewGAProject,& more,' Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Wednesday evening. 'Time to charge forward & support the folks leading the way. Let's kick it up.' The congresswoman included an Act Blue link where supporters could contribute.

Update: Holy cow - we surged to $280k for the GA grassroots last night!

That’s some #EmbraceTheBase ENERGY right there. Keep going! ⬇️ https://t.co/CZV8uDPZRV

Early Thursday afternoon, Ocasio-Cortez gave an update, saying that contributors had already donated well-over a quarter-million dollars.

'Update: Holy cow - we surged to $280k for the GA grassroots last night! That's some #EmbraceTheBase ENERGY right there. Keep going!' the New York representative tweeted.

Newsweek reached out to press representatives for Ocasio-Cortez for further comment, but they did not immediately respond.

Loeffler faces Demcoratic candidate Raphael Warnock, while Perdue faces Democrat Jon Ossoff in the January 5 runoffs. A poll by conservative-leaning Remington Research Group shows Loeffler with 49 percent to Warnock's 48 percent support. The survey showed Perdue with the backing of 50 percent of Georgians while 46 percent supported Ossoff.

Stacey Abrams, a Democratic organizer and politician from Georgia who has been widely credited for helping to flip her state blue for Biden, has expressed confidence that her party can win both Senate seats. She told CNN this week that she has 'no doubt' Democrats can win, describing Warnock and Ossoff as 'the two men who are going to make certain that Joe Biden has the leadership, the support, and the congressional mandate he needs to move this country forward.'

As of Sunday, Abrams had already helped raise about $3.6 million to support the Democratic Senate contenders in the Georgia runoffs. Other high-profile Democrats have said they plan to campaign in the state as well, including former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang.

'Want to help win Georgia? We have vetted 16 community organizers who can activate voters where they matter most over the next 8 weeks! Give today and let's win the Senate and demote Mitch and co to the minority! There's a LOT on the line - let's win!!' Yang tweeted on Wednesday.

Martin Luther King III, the son of the legendary civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., tweeted that he'd be organizing with Yang.

'I'm proud to work with @AndrewYang and a group of incredible organizers in Georgia to mobilize voters for the Jan 5th Senate run-offs. We need to elect @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock to deliver @JoeBiden the senate majority for real change to happen,' King wrote.
