Ocasio-Cortez Loses It Over Biden-Kamala

Ocasio-Cortez Criticizes Democratic “Elites” Pushing for Biden to Step Down

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) criticized Democratic “elites” who are urging President Biden to step aside for the 2024 race, suggesting they also do not want Vice President Harris as the nominee.

During an Instagram Live on Thursday night, Ocasio-Cortez addressed the issue following former President Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention. She noted that those calling for Biden to withdraw do not intend to support Harris either, stating, “I see what they say in conversations. A huge amount of the donor class and elites pushing for Biden not to be the nominee are not interested in seeing Harris either.”

Ocasio-Cortez, a staunch Biden ally, expressed her frustration over growing concerns about Biden’s age and cognitive abilities following a poor debate performance. Nearly 30 Congressional Democrats have urged Biden to step aside in favor of another candidate, including high-profile figures like former President Obama, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

She also warned of potential legal challenges from Republicans if Democrats choose a different nominee, highlighting that the Republican Speaker of the House has confirmed preparations for such challenges.

Ocasio-Cortez criticized those who supported Biden but are now leaking information to the press anonymously. She urged these individuals to retire if they are resigned to losing, saying, “If you’re resigning yourself to losing, why don’t you just turn in your keys early and give it to someone who gives a damn?”

Her comments underscore the ongoing intraparty struggle over Biden’s candidacy and the broader concerns about leadership within the Democratic Party.
