“ ‘I would love to see the vice president clarify and deepen his policy stances on certain issues. But aside from that, you know, I think it’s incredibly important that we support the Democratic nominee in November.’ ” — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

That was what influential Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York had to say on Wednesday when asked about whether she would endorse Joe Biden, who is set to become her party’s nominee for president.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking in a Politico interview conducted via Zoom, said her staff now has been in touch with Biden’s campaign after previously telling the New York Times Biden’s team hadn’t yet reached out to her.
