CNN —Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday that she will support President Joe Biden’s reelection bid given the challengers he currently faces in the primary.
Author Marianne Williamson and environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have launched campaigns for the 2024 Democratic presidential domination.
When asked on the “Pod Save America” podcast whether she would back Biden, Ocasio-Cortez said, “I believe, given that field, yes.”The New York congresswoman’s remarks comments mark a shift in her position on Biden’s reelection campaign.
Biden made his reelection bid official in April.
Two other members of “The Squad” – a group of progressive House lawmakers, including Ocasio-Cortez – have also backed Biden’s reelection bid: Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Greg Casar of Texas.
