New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now a pro (or close to it) at Twitch and the popular game Among Us, having streamed to over 400,000 people back in October with fellow Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Ocasio-Cortez played Among Us on Friday, this time to raise money for food pantries, eviction defense legal aid, and community support organizations:
