New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proved once again that she’s not the type to just sit back and watch when something needs fixing—literally. When her chief of staff found himself stranded with a dead car battery, the 34-year-old representative didn’t hesitate to jump in and get her hands dirty.

According to Mike Casca, Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff, the situation unfolded right on the Capitol plaza. Instead of calling AAA like most people would, he jokingly tweeted, “When your car battery dies on the Capitol plaza, instead of calling AAA you just need @AOC.” He even snapped a photo of the congresswoman leaning over the open hood of his Honda Civic, adjusting the battery terminals while two police officers and a man in a suit looked on with a mix of curiosity and mild disbelief.

Casca might have been stranded, but he got a priceless moment out of it—and the internet got “AAAOC.” Cue sunglasses and dramatic scream.

Jokes aside, it’s refreshing to see not only a young person but also an elected official who actually knows what to do under the hood of a car. Jump-starting a vehicle may not be advanced mechanical engineering, but plenty of people don’t know how to do it—including, apparently, AOC’s own chief of staff. It’s relatable, it’s funny, and it’s a reminder that basic car knowledge is becoming surprisingly rare.

Despite not being especially car-focused, AOC has made several appearances on this website over the years. We previously wrote about how she was definitely not trying to take anyone’s cars away—a rumor that had spread with more horsepower than accuracy. We’ve also covered her decision to file articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Alito, citing the millions of dollars in undisclosed gifts and financial benefits they had allegedly received.

This latest moment adds a lighter, more down-to-earth chapter to her public image. Politician one minute, impromptu roadside assistant the next—apparently, multitasking is just part of the job.

And now, let’s take a look at how netizens reacted.
