Democratic candidates in key swing states are reportedly keeping their distance from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the fall campaign season gets underway. The moves reflect concern among moderates that aligning with the progressive congresswoman could hurt their chances with independent and swing voters in closely contested races.

Why now: Her progressive profile is seen as a liability for Democrats competing in battleground districts this election season.
