AOC backs Biden for reelection after endorsing Sanders in 2020 primary.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Endorses President Biden for Reelection in 2024
The dynamic and outspoken congresswoman, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who is part of the progressive group known as “the squad,” has officially endorsed President Joe Biden for his reelection campaign in 2024. She made this announcement during an engaging conversation on the popular Pod Save America podcast.
Supporting President Biden’s Accomplishments
When asked about her support for the president, Ocasio-Cortez confidently stated, “I believe, given that field, yes.” She commended Biden for his performance, acknowledging the limitations he faced. “I think he’s done quite well given the limitations that we have,” she added, emphasizing that every presidency has its ups and downs.
Ocasio-Cortez specifically praised two significant achievements under Biden’s administration – the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act. She highlighted the latter as a crucial step towards addressing the urgent climate agenda.
Areas for Improvement
While expressing her endorsement, the New York Democrat also acknowledged that there are areas where Biden’s presidency can be improved. She emphasized the existence of major structural issues in the country that need to be addressed. Ocasio-Cortez believes that electing senators who are willing to confront the filibuster and tackle the Senate’s structural issues head-on is vital for the progress of the nation.
Continuing the Progressive Movement
During the 2020 Democratic primary, Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who ultimately lost to Biden. However, she remains committed to advancing the progressive movement and supporting candidates who align with her values.
In a recent poll conducted by Echelon Insights, Biden emerged as the frontrunner in potential matchups for the 2024 general election. He outperformed former President Donald Trump by a narrow margin of 45% to 44%. Additionally, Biden secured a lead against Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), with a 45% to 42% advantage.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Ocasio-Cortez’s endorsement adds momentum to President Biden’s reelection campaign, while also highlighting the importance of addressing the country’s structural challenges for a brighter future.
