Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, a sign of the president’s strength in uniting his party to have the backing of one of its most liberal members.

    Yeah, those two aren’t for real… I mean that AOC grabs enough attention from the progressive side that by not committing, there was always a chance a progressive comes along to drag out nomination, or even tilt the scales like Sanders did. By her voicing support now (still in 2023), just kills any real threat from the left. In others words, AOC already endorsed Biden, good luck trying to find a second megaphone big enough to sway the progress votes.

      True. I’m not sure who would’ve stepped up from the progressive wing and been a strong enough contender, but this pretty much eliminates any possibility.
