New York Democratic Socialists urge Ocasio-Cortez to run for US president
The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America voted 291 to 123 at its convention to urge Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for US president in 2028 — not a formal endorsement, but a commitment to build groundwork for a potential campaign. The vote follows a midterm election in which a record eight DSA-endorsed candidates won federal office, and chapter co-chair Gustavo Gordillo tells Al Jazeera that if the US can elect Donald Trump, it can elect Democratic Socialists.
