Summary
Gustavo Gordillo, co-chair of New York City’s DSA chapter, said the group would be “thrilled” if Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chose to run for president in 2028.
He said the organization plans to try to influence the next Democratic presidential primary, though it is still too early to decide how or whom to support.
That interest follows two recent DSA-backed primary victories: 29-year-old Melat Kiros beat longtime Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette, and Darializa Avila Chevalier ousted New York Rep. Adriano Espaillat.
Ocasio-Cortez has backed those insurgent candidates and recently urged Democratic incumbents not to dismiss them, while still declining to commit to a 2028 presidential bid.
