Headline: UNCAPTIONED: AOC Backs Biden's Reelection Bid
Caption: AOC Backs Biden's Reelection Bid. On July 7, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed President Joe Biden's bid to seek reelection. ABC reports that the endorsement sends a strong message of Democratic unity from a leading member of the liberal party. "I think he's done quite well, given the limitations that we have." "I do think that there are ebbs and flows.", Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, U.S. representative for New York's 14th congressional district, via ABC. In 2020, Ocasio-Cortez backed Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont in the Democratic presidential primary. Last year, she declined to say whether she would support Biden in a potential 2024 bid for reelection. While speaking on the 'Pod Save America' podcast, Ocasio-Cortez said that Biden had a strong start to his presidency, citing the passage of the American Rescue Plan. That bill was aimed at providing relief from the pandemic. Another victory Ocasio-Cortez cited was the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which served as both a major climate and health care law. Recently, she disagreed with Biden and other party leaders on a deal negotiated with Republicans to raise the debt ceiling, in addition to a spending bill that avoided a government shutdown.
