Quick Summary

The Democratic Socialists of America's New York City chapter is set to vote on a resolution that calls for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president in 2028, aiming to leverage her popularity to boost the organization’s membership and advance its political agenda. The resolution, which highlights AOC's grassroots fundraising prowess and widespread appeal within the Democratic Party, will be discussed at their convention on Saturday. If approved, it would not constitute an official endorsement but could pave the way for one if Ocasio-Cortez decides to run. Other DSA chapters across the country have already passed similar resolutions encouraging her candidacy.

Story summary

The city chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is considering a resolution at its convention on Saturday to push Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) to run for US president in 2028. DSA co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser signed the proposal, which praises AOC as one of the most recognizable figures and popular Democrats in Congress. The resolution argues that supporting AOC would create a chance to grow the DSA's membership by leveraging her grassroots support and fundraising abilities, which come primarily from small-dollar donors. If passed, this resolution would not be an official endorsement but could pave the way for future endorsements if AOC decides to run.

The city chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America will consider formally pushing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for US president in 2028 — with plans for her campaign to grow their lefty ranks.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s plan to combat antisemitism glaringly omits tackling rampant, anti-Jewish hatred at local colleges and universities, Jewish faculty and staff at CUNY and NYU said
In May of this year, only 33% of New York voters had a favorable view of Schumer, while 52% had an unfavorable view — including 40% of Democrats, Siena found.
The most competitive races for Congress are in swing suburban and upstate districts, while statewide ballots will include elections for governor, attorney general and comptroller.
Democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani remains popular, backed by a group of largely younger voters who lean left and are energized around an anti-capitalist message of taxing the rich.
New York is again expected to play a pivotal role in determining which party takes control of the House of Representatives — four years after the GOP’s four-seat pickup turned the tide in 2022.
The law exempts restaurants from the green prohibition, so wok stir-fry cooking on gas stoves will continue in Chinese eateries.
Gov. Kathy Hochul will raise New Yorkers’ taxes to fulfill Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist agenda if she’s re-elected next week, her GOP opponent Bruce Blakeman warned.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department said, “The Department takes allegations of antisemitism seriously and is committed to enforcing federal civil rights laws that protect students from discrimination.” The city DOE and Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
“New York needs an attorney general who will put public safety over politics and make sure New York State is one of the most prosperous, best places to live in the country,” Teixeira added.

Narrative

“A winning presidential campaign creates enormous opportunity to deliver a democratic socialist agenda that puts working-class people back in control of their own lives,” it says. “Mobilizing a mass campaign around an AOC 2028 presidential run will create an unprecedented chance for member recruitment and mobilization, direct engagement with voters, the promotion of our values, and the continued crafting of a platform that engages the working class,” the proposal states.
