NYC Democratic Socialists Urge Ocasio-Cortez to Run for President
At its New York City convention, the Democratic Socialists of America's largest chapter — nearly tripled in size since Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign — passed a resolution, 291 to 123, urging Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president in 2028, though it stopped short of an endorsement. Members also approved resolutions pressing Mamdani to disband the Police Department's Strategic Response Group and upgrade his Office of Community Safety, voted down a measure opposing the Fulton and Elliott-Chelsea Houses demolition, and backed a drive to attract more Black and Latino members.
