WASHINGTON — The "Squad" doesn't do everything together, it seems.

After multiple media reports Tuesday night and Wednesday morning that U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, had joined Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., in endorsing U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, Tlaib tapped on the brakes.

"I have not made any endorsement at this time," Tlaib said in a statement to the Free Press, adding that she is planning to bring Sanders, the U.S. senator from Vermont, to her Detroit-based district on Oct. 27 for a tour.

Tlaib's office also said that she is not planning to be part of a Sanders rally in New York City this weekend despite reports that she would be. Instead, she is expected to be at a rally of progressives in Lansing.

Sanders' campaign confirmed the trip to southeast Michigan, though no other details were released.

That doesn't mean Tlaib won't endorse Sanders, only that she hasn't done so at this time. Recently, Tlaib welcomed another Democratic presidential candidate — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. — and the two talked about environmental hazards in the district and filmed a Facebook piece together.

In explaining why she hasn't made an endorsement yet, Tlaib told the Free Press, "It is critically important to me to involve my residents and my district in every major decision I make because staying rooted in community makes our movement stronger."

"I am looking forward to bringing Senator Sanders to Michigan on Oct. 27 for a tour of our district that will highlight economic justice issues and corporate tax giveaways, and (include) a roundtable with housing justice advocates," she said. "I need to know that anyone I choose to endorse will fight for my residents, and I appreciate the opportunity for them to have a dialogue with Sen. Sanders about these critically important issues.”

Several media organizations, including CNN, were reporting Wednesday morning that Tlaib was among the members of the so-called "squad" of freshman Democratic women in Congress, which includes Ocasio-Cortez, Omar and Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, who were endorsing Sanders.

Omar, who like Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed Sanders, even posted a Tweet saying Tlaib was doing likewise.

Sanders' campaign forwarded a statement from the senator saying he's looking forward to visiting with Tlaib later this month.

"There are few better examples of what unfettered corporate greed is doing to working people than what's going on in Michigan," Sanders said. "I look forward to spending the day with Rashida, hearing directly from people in her district because their concerns speak to the broader needs of the working class around the country, especially affordable housing and guaranteeing quality education and health care for all."
