Washington Examiner“I’m not a socialist,” Nixon told NBC. “I joined the DSA because I believe in them in regards to fighting for adequate public housing, as well as fighting for quality healthcare, as well as making sure that we are getting our veterans off the street, taking big money out of politics. The Democratic Party is a big tent. It is a big tent, and it’s an everybody party.”

The Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) Liberation Caucus is rejecting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., as a potential candidate for Democrats in the 2028 presidential election, arguing she is too far removed from the socialist agenda.

Washington TimesThe Democratic Socialists of America’s Liberation Caucus, a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist bloc within DSA, said in a statement that it would not “endorse or give succor” to an Ocasio-Cortez campaign, arguing she has made repeated “capitulations to the imperialists.” The caucus’s statement invokes conditions national DSA’s National Political Committee attached to Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s 2024 re-election endorsement, including opposition to Israeli military funding and support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, which the committee determined she had not met.

The rejection comes as Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s national profile continues to climb. She led the field of prospective 2028 Democratic contenders in a New Hampshire primary poll released in July, edging former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and running far ahead of former Vice President Kamala Harris.

A committee member publicly disputed claims that the vote barred chapters from conducting their own polls.
