RIVERO IS FIRST TO INTERVIEW ALEXANDRIA-OCASIO CORTEZ
This is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's first on-air interview. Rivero booked AOC before her upset victory over incumbent Joe Crowley, when AOC was an unknown, first-time candidate. Rivero sensed she would do much better than predicted, and set up the interview as the race was underway-- the only broadcast journalist to do so.
