Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, seemed unenthusiastic about the prospect of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., primarying Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer , D-N.Y., saying Thursday she didn't subscribe to "ageism."

During an interview on CNN, Crockett dismissed the notion that replacing older Democratic lawmakers like Schumer with younger ones like Ocasio-Cortez is going to fix the party.

"I think there is this feeling within our base that we need to have younger people. I will tell you that I don’t necessarily subscribe to ageism," Crockett told CNN host Kasie Hunt, who had asked what she thought of the prospect of Ocasio-Cortez challenging Schumer.
