Ocasio-Cortez Will Not Primary Challenge Senator Gillibrand in 2024, Eyes Staying in House

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will not run against Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in the 2024 Democratic Senate primary in New York according to sources.
Gillibrand recently announced her reelection campaign and Ocasio-Cortez's decision not to run clears the path for Gillibrand to likely win another term.
Ocasio-Cortez is seen as a rising progressive star but prefers to remain in the House of Representatives for now.
Ocasio-Cortez also declined to challenge Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in a potential primary last year, signaling she wants to avoid an inter-party fight.
While other progressives may run, former Governor Andrew Cuomo looms as a possible threat to Gillibrand's reelection.
