Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a dig at congressional Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries — and other establishment members of the party — Thursday for not backing Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s mayoral race.
The lefty “Squad” member noted that she backed former President Joe Biden when he became the 2020 Democratic nominee, prevailing over her favored candidate, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
“We have a Democratic nominee. Are we a party who rallies behind our nominee or not?,” Ocasio-Cortez, a Mamdani booster, told NY1 when asked about Schumer and Jeffries withholding endorsements of the Democratic mayoral candidate.
“Because what we do is we use our primary to settle our differences, and once we have a nominee we rally behind that nominee,” the congresswoman, like Mamdani, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, said.
“I am very concerned about the example that is being set by anybody in our party … if an individual doesn’t want to support the party’s nominee now, it complicates their ability to ask voters to support any nominee later.”
Gov. Kathy Hochul also has not endorsed Mamdani, after the Queens Assemblyman defeated ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and others in the June primary.
Schumer, the Senate Democratic minority leader and Jeffries, the House Democratic minority leader, have other considerations.
They’re both trying to win back majority control of Congress in the next year’s midterm elections.

Let’s build a wall around NYC. A big, beautiful wall.
Aren’t we really tired of AOC yet? I am.
Oh, they’re behind him 100%. They just can’t admit it publicly.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez must be reviewing all the old newsreel footage of how easy it was for Hitler to came into power.
