A question for 2020: Who will Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez support in Clay-Bush rematch

WASHINGTON • Activist, nurse and pastor Cori Bush will again challenge Rep. William Lacy Clay in 2020, a rematch of their Democratic primary showdown last year.

A big question looms: Who will Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., support?

Bush was endorsed by the woman known as AOC in 2018. Bush says she hasn’t asked and that the two are longtime friends and campaigned for one another in 2018, so an endorsement hasn’t been much on her mind.

Clay says he hopes he’ll get the endorsement of the first-term congresswoman who has attracted a media spotlight far brighter than that usually accorded first-term members of Congress.

so the primary will tell the tale. Lacy Clay is one of the most progressive members of Congress and I would hate to see him lose the election as I believe his views and experience help the party and the people.
