AOC Returns to Twitch to Discuss GameStop Stock Situation
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a U.S. congresswoman from New York, is set to make a comeback on Twitch tonight. However, this time her focus will be on discussing the recent surge in stocks from companies like GameStop.
AOC announced on Twitter today that she will be livestreaming on Twitch at 7:30pm CT. She also hinted that she might have some guests joining her on the stream, although she didn’t reveal any names.
The Millennial Legislator: A Twitch Sensation
In October, AOC caused a stir in the political landscape when she streamed the game “Among Us” with popular personalities. Using Twitch as a platform to urge people to vote, her stream attracted over 438,000 viewers, rivaling the highest viewership for personal channels.
A Discussion on GameStop and Retail Trading
It’s unclear whether AOC will be playing any games during tonight’s livestream. She has only promised to talk about retail stock trading, specifically in relation to the recent developments involving GameStop that have been making headlines this week.
Ocasio-Cortez has been openly critical of the actions taken by retail trading apps, like Robinhood, that have restricted certain stocks from being purchased by investors. Meanwhile, hedge funds have been able to freely trade these stocks without any restrictions.
Showing Disapproval on Twitter
Prior to her Twitch announcement, AOC expressed her disapproval on Twitter regarding the actions of apps like Robinhood. She even suggested the possibility of a hearing on the matter, given her role in the Financial Services Committee.
Stay tuned for AOC’s livestream on Twitch as she delves into the GameStop stock situation and retail trading.
