Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lost her bid to head up the Oversight Committee .

Gerry Connolly , a 74-year-old Virginia congressman, won the vote 131-84 .

Connolly had some powerful old-guard allies in his corner, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi , 84 .

Democrats appear to have picked Connolly because they felt he was entitled to the post, as a reward for loyalty and longevity.

AOC 's loss seems to point to a lingering resistance to the new generation among some party elites.

Jamie Raskin , currently the top Oversight Democrat , will take over as the ranking member of the powerful Judiciary Committee from Jerrold Nadler .

Jared Huffman , 60 , will succeed Raúl Grijalva as the top Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee .
