Ocasio-Cortez Endorses Biden Despite Policy Disagreements, Citing Limited Options

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voiced support for President Biden's reelection campaign while acknowledging she disagrees with some of his policies.
Ocasio-Cortez praised Biden's passage of the American Rescue Plan and Inflation Reduction Act but criticized his handling of immigration issues.
Ocasio-Cortez had previously endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic primary and was initially hesitant to back Biden's 2024 campaign.
Ocasio-Cortez cited the lack of strong challengers as her reason for endorsing Biden, despite her belief that "things could have gone better" in some areas of his presidency.
Biden continues to face two long-shot primary challengers but has gained the backing of other prominent progressives in Congress.
