Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., recently shared her thoughts on the upcoming presidential election in a video posted on Instagram. In the hour-long video, she expressed her belief that Democrats should continue to support President Biden's candidacy.
Ocasio-Cortez acknowledged that there are concerns about Biden's ability to defeat Trump in November but stressed that there isn't enough time for Democrats to pivot to another candidate. She emphasized the urgency of the situation, pointing to the limited time available to prepare a national campaign with a different nominee.
Regarding criticisms of Biden, Ocasio-Cortez called out individuals who have anonymously shared negative opinions about the president. She urged them to voice their concerns openly rather than resorting to behind-the-scenes tactics.
Furthermore, Ocasio-Cortez dismissed the notion that Vice President Kamala Harris would automatically become the Democratic nominee if Biden were to step aside. She suggested that those advocating for Biden's withdrawal may have broader intentions of reshaping the entire ticket.
Throughout her remarks, Ocasio-Cortez underscored the importance of unity within the Democratic Party and the need to focus on the upcoming election. She highlighted the evolving political landscape and the critical role that timing plays in shaping electoral strategies.
