NYC Democratic Socialists Vote to Urge Rep. Ocasio-Cortez to Run for President in 2028
The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) voted 291 to 123 on November 14 to pass a resolution formally urging U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to launch a run for president in 2028, CNN reported.
The chapter stressed that the resolution is not an official endorsement. Co-chair Gustavo Gordillo called it a commitment to encouraging her and building the foundation for a campaign. DSA chapters in Atlanta, Colorado, Los Angeles and Ithaca have already approved similar resolutions. The chapter's priorities include an arms embargo on Israel, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Medicare for All and the Green New Deal.
Ocasio-Cortez rejoined the DSA in August, and her spokesperson did not comment on the resolution. She has said she will decide her next move after the midterm elections, and is widely seen as weighing a White House run against a Senate bid.
