Gustavo Gordillo, co-Chair of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in New York City, stated during an appearance on MS NOW that many members of the organization would be pleased if Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., chose to run for president in 2028. Gordillo's comments followed a recent primary victory by a DSA-backed candidate in Colorado, which prompted host Antonia Hylton to inquire about the DSA's plans for the upcoming presidential election. Gordillo indicated that the organization aims to influence the next presidential primary but noted that it is too early to determine specific candidates. He emphasized that the decision to run ultimately rests with Ocasio-Cortez. Additionally, Ocasio-Cortez has shown support for recent DSA-backed candidates who have won primaries against established Democratic incumbents. She has not yet confirmed her own intentions regarding a presidential campaign but has expressed openness to the possibility.
