Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Sets Up Endorsement Battle Between Sanders and Warren


By Tommy ChristopherJun 16th, 2019, 4:29 pm

The battle for New York Congresswoman and superstar progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s endorsement is shaping up to be a dogfight between Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), if AOC’s most recent comments on the subject are any indication.

On Sunday morning’s edition of ABC News’ This Week with George Stephanopoulos, fill-in host and Chief White House Correspondent Jon Karl asked AOC about her presidential endorsement, and got a strong hint in reply.

“Are you going to endorse?” Karl asked.

” Not now,” Ocasio-Cortez said, adding “It’s possible that I’ll endorse later on perhaps, you know, I do not see myself endorsing any time soon. We haven’t even had our first debates yet. I’m very interested in seeing how things play out. So we’ll see.”

Karl asked if Sanders had sought her endorsement, and Ocasio-Cortez indicated that he has not.

I don't see why her endorsement should be any bigger news than any other Congress person though.
