86. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Endorses Joe Biden: 'Absolutely' Must 'Rally Behind Our Democratic Nominee'

Thu Apr 16, 2020, 12:46 AM

That's Mediaites take.

https://www.mediaite.com/news/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-endorses-joe-biden-absolutely-must-rally-behind-our-democratic-nominee/

Progressive New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivered an unequivocal endorsement of former Vice President Joe Biden’s candidacy, saying that voters “absolutely” should “rally behind our Democratic nominee in November.”

On Wednesday’s edition of ABC’s The View, host Whoopi Goldberg asked AOC if she’d “be able to do the same thing” as Bernie Sanders and endorse Biden, and whether “it’s time to have a conversation with Joe?”

“Absolutely,” she replied, adding that “the stakes are too high when it comes to another four years of Trump.”

Her remarks went beyond having a “conversation” about endorsing Biden, though, as AOC went on to say “I think it’s really important that we rally behind our Democratic nominee in November,” and argued explicitly against voting third party.
