        Exactly! Her name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Use her name, not dismissive adjectives.

        Can’t go around calling women candidates by their names. They might get all uppity about it.

        Given they haven't reported on her campaign once, they probably didn't actually know her name. It's not like they're a major newspaper or anything. Admittedly, though, "young challenger" would be kind of a cool name. Especially with the uncapitalized initials.

        I think it’s Young Challenger since it’s a proper noun, right?

        A horse name for horserace politics, I guess. Well, she'll make sure everyone knows her name soon enough.
