US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has rejoined the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in August 2026, seven years after her initial membership lapsed. The 36-year-old New York representative first joined the national organisation in 2018 with a one-year membership.
The DSA confirmed on Tuesday night that Ocasio-Cortez is now a member in good standing, according to a report in City & State New York. The organisation stated it decided to disclose her membership details due to ongoing speculation about her potentially running for president in 2028.
In July 2024, the DSA had withdrawn its endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez at the request of NYC-DSA. This decision was reportedly due to her vote for a House resolution on antisemitism and her participation in a panel discussion.
