"The bio previously stated, She ended up attending public school 40 minutes north in Yorktown, and much of her life was defined by the 40-minute commute between school and her family in the Bronx.
That sentence in the bio has since been changed, though it still doesnt explicitly state that she moved out of the Bronx to Yorktown when she was 5 years old.
She ended up attending public school in Yorktown, 40 minutes north of her birthplace, it now states. As a result, much of her early life was spent in transit between her tight-knit extended family in the Bronx & her daily student life."

The RW is already attacking her full-force. What kind of district is she running in? Is this a swing-district? A red one?

They see she is standing strong and not allowing different factions to define her. She is everything they fear in a newcomer. Please remember that Hillary Clinton was a "minor" player when the GOP went full on assault on her in Arkansas. They see Ocasio and her strength. They will start spending now to run up her negatives.
None of it is about this current election and if she will win or lose. She will win. The district is set up for her. It damn near matches who she is.
