The Democratic Socialists of America’s New York City chapter officially urged Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Saturday to launch a presidential run in 2028.
The resolution passed by the New York City DSA is not an official endorsement. But it is the latest effort by democratic socialists to urge Ocasio-Cortez, one of the most prominent members of their movement, to run for the White House. Gustavo Gordillo, co-chair of the local DSA chapter, described the resolution as “a commitment to encouraging and building the foundation for a presidential campaign.” CNN reported.
“AOC and New York City DSA are committed to building a stronger democratic socialist movement and DSA will create the conditions for a presidential campaign capable of advancing a working-class political agenda,” Gordillo said during a press conference after the convention.
