Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said in a new interview that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign has not reached out to her.
The progressive first-term congresswoman was a high-profile surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who dropped out of the race last week.
She reiterated in an interview with The New York Times published Monday that she plans to support the party’s nominee.
“I’ve always said that I will support the Democratic nominee. But unity is a process, and figuring out what that looks like is part of this whole conversation that I think Bernie and [Sen. Elizabeth] Warren [D-Mass.] and other folks are a part of as well,” she said.
Ocasio-Cortez also did not rule out a combined unity rally with the former vice president.
“Is a Biden-AOC unity rally ever in the cards?” the Times asked.
“It could be. I have not talked to the vice president,” Ocasio-Cortez responded, adding that she doesn’t think she has ever spoken to Biden.
A spokesperson for the Biden campaign was not immediately available for comment.
Asked what type of outreach to progressives she would like to see from Biden, Ocasio-Cortez said he should get “uncomfortable.”
“There’s this talk about unity as this kind of vague, kumbaya, kind of term. Unity and unifying isn’t a feeling, it’s a process,” she said.
The unity focus needs to be on real policies, she added.

The only smart move his campaign has taken.
Sorry Sandy. You’re 15 years too old for Joe’ tastes.
she’s afraid he’ll grab her boobs.
AOC=over inflated sense of self importance.
Maybe she ought to find out what shampoo Biden prefers.
Can anyone imagine the depth of a private conversation between Biden and AOC?
Marry me, Alex. I can fix you.
Vice President AOC ,
I’m sure the campaign already has a bartender.
They haven’t reached out to me either.
She hasn’t gotten enough of her MEMEMEME Spotlight lately. Had to remind people to pay attention to her needs.
She’s asking for a rake-off.
Joe don’t like shaved legs......
Joe was going to call her, but he forgot.
And she even shampooed her hair with New Sauve For Pervs.
I guess even Biden has his standards
Come over for a sniff....
“Joe was going to call her, but he forgot.”
Joe was going to...[something].. but he forgot.
