AOC Grabs a Tiger by the Ears

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chose the New York Times as the venue to debut her first Senate endorsement of the 2026 midterm cycle. In its pages today, AOC threw her support behind Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed.

Sure, within the Democratic Party, there are “ideological differences,” she said, but all Democrats agree that we are in a moment of “existential” peril. That’s why, she said, “many people are willing to put aside differences in order to give us the best chance at winning.”
