Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has announced her support for President Biden, stating that she has spoken with him and he has confirmed he is staying in the race.
Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the importance of focusing on the issues that matter to working people, such as expanding Medicare and Social Security, and making housing more affordable.
She also highlighted the need for Democrats to focus on winning in November, particularly given the alternative of former President Donald Trump, who she noted has 34 felony convictions.
Ocasio-Cortez’s support is a significant boost for Biden, who has faced calls from some House Democrats to step aside following his recent debate performance.
