Progressive Democrats like "Squad" member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., are already gearing up to lobby a Biden-Harris administration for policies like the Green New Deal and Medicare for all.

Before the election, Sanders said left-wing lawmakers and supporters need to push Democratic President-elect Joe Biden to be the “most progressive president” since President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

“Our first task we've got to defeat the worst president in modern history in this country and number two we organize our people to make sure that Biden becomes the most progressive president since FDR,” he said in an interview with the left-wing group of freshman congresswomen known as "The Squad.”

Ocasio-Cortez waded into possible Democratic cabinet picks this week, telling the New York Times she opposes giving power to Obama ally and former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

"We must govern with integrity and accountability. Laquan McDonald’s life mattered," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter on Monday, referencing McDonald, a Black teen who was shot by a white police officer in 2014 when Emanuel was in office.

"What we understood in this election was that we had one job," "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., told CNN on Sunday. "That one job was to get rid of Trump and to give ourselves the opportunity and the privilege to lobby the new administration on the policies that we know resonate with so many people."

Although more moderate Democrats are blaming the progressive wing of their party for losses in the House, Omar claimed Biden's choice of Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., as his running mate "won" Democrats the election.
