The Democratic Socialists of America’s New York City chapter officially urged Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Saturday to launch a presidential run in 2028.

The resolution passed by the New York City DSA is not an official endorsement. But it is the latest effort by democratic socialists to urge Ocasio-Cortez, one of the most prominent members of their movement, to run for the White House. Gustavo Gordillo, co-chair of the local DSA chapter, described the resolution as “a commitment to encouraging and building the foundation for a presidential campaign.”
